Simple.
Oldest (47 years) - Teac 4070 Auto-reversing Tape Deck. Just had first tuneup. Has always worked, and well.
Second Oldest (42 years) - Original Dual 701 Automatic Turntable. Survivor of a shoot-out with my Linn SP12 / Syrinx arm combo. Same mid-range, better bass, acceptable high-end.
Third Oldest (38 years) - ARC SP-6a.and Marcof PPA-2 headamp w/Moncrieff mod. Recapped. Noisy controls, but sounds sublime. Retired my 2004 Margules transistorized preamp.
