What's the oldest piece of gear in your system?


This site is here for the buying and selling of Audio equipment. This causes me to wonder if most of us have relatively new equipment. If most of it is new, what is the oldest piece of equipment still in use, and why are you still using it?

My oldest piece is a Sota Star Sapphire, but it has been upgraded. It was originally purchased as a Sapphire in the 80's, but was upgraded to a Star Sapphire about two or three years ago.

What's your story?

Fisher 800-B receiver (1961), currently in use as my system's tuner while I contemplate using it as the center of a modest bedroom system. I received this pristine unit from my dad who no longer had use for it. IMHO, a beautifully made piece of tube gear with some wonderful history about it, see http://antiqueradio.org/fish02.htm.
