What's the Oldest Piece of Hardware You Own?

I checked my garage and I'm trying to get some of my old DX2/DX4 rigs going but can't find a working CPU. A couple of them have bent pins because I took out the CPUs and never put them back in. :( Anyone have a few DX2/DX4 processors I could buy?

A cool place to look through is datasheetarchive.com. In there I quickly learned how sensitive the DX series were to voltage, as no regulators were on chip or mobo. The voltage reg's were manually attached to the cpu as an ad on. Back in 94' I wasn't into PC's, I had my head inside Allen-Bradley cabinents, where every minute of downtime cost thousands of dollars. I can even even recall ceramic capacitors as big as your arm used for early multi-speed 200hp electric motors. Ill ask around about the DX stuff, may know of a few places.
