Who has dropped quarters in one of these babies and watched the miracle of plastic injection molding produce a hot souvenir for you while you wait?
Chicago's Brookfield Zoo or Museum of Science and Industry host a couple.

Didn't expect to be in the majority here lol. I picked Atari out of respect for being THE console that started it all. And also tbh, pure nostalgia.
We used to get the Sears catalog as a kid in the 70s, and when I wasn't looking at women in lingerie there, I would flip to the section selling the Sears rebranded Atari 2600.
They had 3 pages devoted to it and one was just a page of thumbnail screen shots of all the games, in bright colors. I'd spend hours looking at them all. I had a black-and-white pong system at the time, it was all we could afford. But the idea of a game system that was not hardwired to play just one thing was incredibly appealing, it just seemed limitless in a new way that had not existed before.

Paper weight with ECL gate array chip designed for the VAX8800 (code name: "Nautilus") embedded within.
I was given this when I started at DEC as swag since this product had just shipped. In a lot of ways this machine was the apex of DECs attempts to capture mainframe market share from IBM.
Projects that followed were all either cancelled or should have been, (looking at you, VAX9000)
