What did your system look like 30 years ago?

Back then I was a primary school boy. I enjoyed a National (a Matsushita brand) boom box my father brought from the Middle East. It had a voltage selector in the back, and that was how I learned that not everybody uses the same voltage. 

30 years ago for some stupid reason I traded in my vinyl collection for cd’s. I did have a very nice Nakamichi system at the time. In the last year have gotten back into vinyl.

Linn LP12 / Alphason HR-100S

Nakamichi 480 

Adcom GFT-1 tuner

Belles 1 amp

Belles 1 preamp

Mondial Acurus P10 phono stage

Thiel 03a

Ah yes the Milty Zerostat (anti static gun). It was red. Good times.

My older son (now past thirty) as a tyke turned up the volume all the way, gave us heart attacks and blew out my beloved three way Braun (810?) speakers. Amp was a Marantz, TT was a B&O, Tandberg Cassette Deck and hardware store 16G wire.  

Fun to remember. 

How many of us still has any of the gear we had 30 years ago?

I still have my zerostat, but that’s about it. I’ve owned my turntable 23 years now- so 

my oldest piece of gear is a Marantz tuner. That’s either late 60’s or early 70’s (is there a Marantz serial number database?) 

my McIntosh tuner has been identified as having been made in 1973 (Rich Modaferri told me)

both of these tuners came into my possession within the past few years
