What's the oldest piece of gear in your system?

I'm gonna say that it is the Carver C9 holographic unit that works magic between the x-fm radio and the preamp. Seems it was made in the '70s. Both are at the 'low end' of my system, but are listenable this way.

My '65 Klipschorns

Mcintosh MR-67 tuner

bought used

1974 Sansui sp-5500 Horn speakers (non x series) made in Japan. Even compared to speakers made today these sansui speakers are some of the best sounding speakers that I've ever heard and always looking for more of them on the used market but they are very very very rare now !..

Happy New Year! (to me)

January 01/2011 my friend gave me a spare Garrard for parts. No parts table here - it was a grey hammertone Garrard 301 in strong 7/10ths condition. Very old serial #2074. This came from his brother's music store in Ft. McMurray Ab. I sold a mint hammerite earlier this year and I hated to see it go. Thought I would never own one again. What a great gift from a very good friend. Call it Karma, or whatever - but I have to smile when I think about how this table came to me.

As an aside, I lost all of my old Garrard articles in a computer crash. One such article dated Garrards by their serial numbers. I lost many other documents of historical interest. If you have some of this information kicking around, would you please forward it to my Audiogon account. Thanks to all and have a great New Year!
