What did you own in the 60's?

I was about 8 or 9 years old (1966-67) when I bought a crystal radio set mail order from the back of a comic book. I strung the antenna wire in the maple tree outside my bedroom window. It worked. I picked up all of the local AM radio stations.

Ha! Tonywinsc, that one put a smile on my face!

Dua1 1019, Shure V15 cartridge, Dynakit PAS3, Dynakit Stereo 70, Knight/EV 15TRX in bass reflex enclosures.

My first system was two Lafyette kit 8 watt tube mono amps, Lafayette/Goodmans 8" three way drivers in Lafayette kit enclosures,a Glaser-Steers automaatic turntable with platter which stopped when record dropped, Shure md3 carttidge which lacked output for the Lafayette tube amps,so had to add the Dynakit Pas3 preamp I have been at this hobby ever since.
Strange how some items go up in value. The Goodmans are now selling for #300 a pair on Ebay, not bad for $15.00 drivers. Same for the Dynakit Pas 3. But then look at the current value of the Marantz 7!

By mid-60s I had an AR table with a Shure V-15 Mk II cartridge, a Marantz Model 18 receiver, and a pair of AR3a speakers. The receiver cost an entire month of post-doc stipend. It was a pretty good sounding setup. I still have all of the above components, but no longer use them.

1960's system:

stacked quad esls, mac c22 pre, quad mono tube amps., thorens td 124, w ortofon arm and cartridge. cables were generic.

that system has given me more pleasure than any system i have owned or heard since 1967.

i defy someone to present a stereo system that will beat it, with the exception of 6, or 8 quad esls.
