Not counting accessories such as a Zerostat which I bought eons ago, the one piece of equipment I own which I've had the longest is my turntable- 19 years now.
My aiwa ad f770 cassette deck, since 1983 to present. It still works as good as day one, with a new set of belts. Second I guess would be 2 of the many tuners I own. The marantz st6000 and the cambridge t500.
My Ariston RD11S TT. Bought new in 1977 for $280 w/o arm. Added an SME 3009 and a MicroAcoustics 2002 cartridge. Presently have a Grace 707 and Denon 103 on it, along with a Hiraoka SE-22 mat (bought new in '78 for $20 from Harvey Sound, NYC). The Ariston/SME was purchased from Audiocom in Old Greenwich, CT (best HiFi store in Fairfield County).
That would be my Pioneer Elite PD-65 CDP. I bought it around 1992-93. With all the reasonably priced DAC's available today, it now does duty as a transport. The thing is a tank.
