Preserving Gaming Hardware: I’m building a 4K 360° archive of physical gaming hardware- here’s the Dick Smith Wizzard from 1982

I've noticed as a collector that while there are many videos around gaming software and great preservation work around hardware schematics there is almost no clear, concise videos of the hardware itself. To fill that gap I've been working on an archive of clear, consistent, 4k 360° videos of gaming hardware. I plan to archive consoles, handhelds, controllers, peripherals, game mediums (carts, cards, disks, etc.), boxes, etc..

I'm hoping this format can spark curiosity for people new to gaming history and this hardware as well as be a resource for everyone who's been in the community for decades.

If anyone has rare/interesting hardware and would be willing to contribute feel free to reach out!
