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

This site is here for the buying and selling of Audio equipment. This causes me to wonder if most of us have relatively new equipment. If most of it is new, what is the oldest piece of equipment still in use, and why are you still using it?

My oldest piece is a Sota Star Sapphire, but it has been upgraded. It was originally purchased as a Sapphire in the 80's, but was upgraded to a Star Sapphire about two or three years ago.

What's your story?

My Vandersteen 2Cs were bought new in 1987 and have been in continuous use until yesterday, when my new Salks arrived. Whichever one of my kids (17 and 21) show the maturity to handle them gets them, although they don't know that yet. I can't bear to box them up and sell them for the few hundred they're worth at this point.

What Salks did you get. I am thinking of getting some SongTowers. How do you like them so far.

These are in storage, along with an EV Centurion. Not possible to get a shot of the EV at this time. Sorry these are not assembled, but they date to 1927-1928 if I have my story straight. I'll put another shot of the manufacturers badges up too. Follow the link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/levelwind/466565792/in/photostream
