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?

2)TungSol JAN/CTL 6SN7GT round plates and 2)Sylvania JAN/CHS 6SN7W tall bottles from the 1940's. No- I haven't owned them quite that long.
The TungSol round plate 6SN7GT and tall bottle Sylvania 6SN7W tubes, used as phase splitters and drivers in my Cary monoblocks, were manufactured in the early 1940's.
