Wow, you people were a heck of a lot better off than I was in 1981 - I was 24, living in my first apartment in Chicago, $385/month, and saving up for law school:
Onkyo TX-15 Stereo Receiver
Biamp 12-channel PA Mixer through which all sources were routed
TEAC 3-head tape deck
CD Player (I think it was a Sharp)
TEAC R2R
Technics TT
Boston Acoustics bookshelves
Quadraflex floorstanders
21-inch Sony TV w/remote
VCR
I thought I'd gone to heaven with all that gear. Buddies would come over to use the mixer to make DJ-style mix tapes with crossfades. We would even mix in movie quotes I'd saved on VCR cassettes. Hi tech and high times!
