My first system depends an what a "system" is. Back in the very late 70's I asked for, and received, at Christmas a "system" that had a Tuner/Cassette/Phono, and yes, 8 track, all in one with separate speakers. As for a "real" system, I was a foolish teen in 1985 and purchased a full Technics system that wasn't that good but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
Like a previous poster, when growing up we had in our basement a pool table, Hi-Fi (Phono with a speaker) and a Juke Box converted so you didn't need to insert money.
