Actually, I had quite a collection of old electronic and telegraph instruments, gotten from a local junkyard of which our landlord was the owner. Alas, my small collection was junked while I was in the Army. My grandmother had my stuff and when she moved, instead of asking me to take it back, sent it all -- including my first radio, a homemade two-tube receiver -- to the trash.
I'd imagine many of us have such memories from our youth. People who do things they are interested in, last longer at them.
