The oldest piece of gear in my possession is a pair of Scott "bookshelf" speakers that were purchased by my father in 1967. The "bookshelf" designation was always questionable in my eyes because they are very heavy and have such prodigious low frequency output that I would expect them to propel themselves off of most of the bookshelves that I have seen. I also have a Nakamichi 600 cassette deck from the mid 70s, a Syrinx PU-2 tonearm from the early 80s, and one of the original VPI HW16 record cleaners, all of which work quite well.
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.
