    How long have you had your oldest (in your possession) component/speaker?

    Good one. We still own equipment from the late 60's early 70's. Also own many pieces of Heathkit gear some of it still in use knock on wood. We got so much enjoyment assembling all the gear and music (records cassettes even 8 tracks) it is next to impossible to get rid of it.
