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.

I still have a pair of McIntosh 60s in really nice shape. I have a hard time letting them go.
Wolf, you DO NOT get the prize. I think Almarg does with his (REL) Precedent FM Tuner, from 1954. My Mac's are not far behind, I am the 3rd owner of them. The guy that originally purchased them bought the 1st one sometime in the 50's, don't know the year but I'm sure I could find out from McIntosh. He used it in a monaural set-up. He later purchased another to match the first one some years later when he went "stereo". This according to the SECOND buyer who had them for a year before I purchased from him in 1991.

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.
