Oldest piece of gear you own

I will start - Pass Aleph Ono, vintage about 1997 or so, followed closely by an LP12, ca 1998. Speakers and tuner both are from 2000. Newest gear is a cd spinner, Simaudio, ca 2011.

Actually, I made an error- I have a pair of Ohm F's in my garage. Late 70's I think.

Wow, has it been this long. My Technics SL 1600 turntable. Purchased late 70's or early 80's. I may yet have the receipt along with the original box. All the important functions work well. It works well enough to the point of being hard pressed to replace it.

I was wondering when someone would come up with one of those old hand wound Victrola's. Interestingly enough when growning up as a teenager I had a friend who's Dad had a laundry route and on the side collected antiques and collectables. At one time he had 4 of those old Victrolas in his garage with the old shellac records.

Well, maybe not :-)

In my antique radio collection I have a working AM radio setup consisting of a Westinghouse RC regenerative tuner/detector/amplifier, a Western Electric 7A amplifier, and a Western Electric 518W speaker. All from 1922.

And if tubes count, I have two NOS/NIB Western Electric VT-1's, from 1918!

:-)

Best,
