The longest you have owned any gear?

I can vouch for Cornell Smith, (audiodoctor.biz). Cornell fixed my Parasound integrated after my daughter broke off an RCA cable in one of the inputs. Very knowledgeable guy.

Thank you for the input ROXY54 and RVILLANOVA. I am definitely going to give cornell a ring to see if he is up for the task. I don't mind that he is a hundred miles away. I often drive to phoenix for concerts. I think it would be worth it to get the A-1060 up and running again. Thanks again for the help.

I have a Denon DP-60L w/ Grace F9 cart., Conrad-Johnson PV6 Preamp, Acoustat Twin-120 Power Amp all bought in 1984. I also use a pair of JBL L-100s that I bought in 1975. All this gear was purchased new and is still in use today albeit some repairs and recapping along the way.

I've owned my Basis Ovation turntable for about 24 or 25 years, it continues to serve me (and, of course,the music) well.  Upgraded it once to add the Debut vacuum system, platter and bearing, that's it.  Very well-engineered and well-made piece of equipment. 

No open reel decks, unless I missed it..
I wonder, how many more years can electronics in my Nak682ZX deck last? It was made 36 years ago, all original except capacitors. It is serviced and calibrated every few years.
