Who has the oldest speakers?

When my older brother came home from the service in 1971, he had a very large Pioneer stereo system. It came with some very large floorstanding speakers. I don't see him very often, but I saw him last month and to my surprise, he still has the same system, with the same speakers and believe it or not, it sounds great. He takes really good care of the system and it is in immaculate shape. That makes those speaker about 30 years old, more or less.

How about you guys?

My Father's JBLs.
I have 1959 JBLs with D-131 coaxial drivers and fitted with the 075 aluminum bullet tweeters. They are still working however they are not what I usually listen to. They came in a number of configurations. I believe they called them JBL Signatures model C-32. I also have circa 1960-4 JBL D-32s working just fine. The history of the line is hard to find. If anyone knows more about them please let know. The JBL historical site ignores everything but the driver.
