Your Forever Pieces? What and Why?

Pretty sure a number of members have some equipment they have owned forever or intend to where feasible.
Curious as to what, how long so far and why?

Bought new in 1977 without arm ($280). First arm: SME 3009. Next arms: JH Formula 4, Keith Monks, Lustre GST-1. Present arm is a Grace 707. Denon DL103. TT mat: Hiraoka Diskmat SE-22 (bought new in '77 - $20). Still a wonderful sounding TT!

These four pieces are irreplaceable for me and they've been part of my system for the past 5 yrs.
