I was in the same situation in 1985 , married fall of 84 , new baby March 85 , I already had a stereo I bought 6 years prior, still have the stereo , charged a 25" TV , my daughter and I are really close , the wife and TV were long gone in 89 , retired from the job 16 months ago though.It was 1985 and wife and I were newly married, I had my first real job (actually same job I I have today), and in first house (rental). Here is our first “good” stereo system. I still use the cassette deck in my main rig and still have the CDP and TT (all Technics). Speakers were Bose 501 Series IV and were replaced when we bought our first house 10 years later and WAF over-ruled in favor of sub-sat system.
Plus, we thought we were uptown with that 19” color TV!

That's awesome but,sad about your stuff getting ripped off.I bought my 2nd stereo , 1st new nice one in 77 from Team Electronics , I was a cook at a hotel restaurant , I decided to go the integrated amp route bought a Kenwood KA-3500 & Pioneer PL-115D TT , I would have bought more up scale but I was reeling from having my albums and stereo stolen and just couldn't wait to get some tunes again.
