Great to know that this old gear is still in operation and providing musical enjoyment after all these years!

Pioneer SA-900 circa 1970 I found under a stack of crap at a local pawn for 60 bucks cleaned the pots and switches....All i can say is THAT its the best 60 ive ever spent. I also found a mint Pioneer SX-950 forked over 200 for her but havent hooked it up cause the wife was not informed of this illegal purchase so I have to wait till she is gone to hear what she sounds like HA

Seeing as you posted in the turntable forum, this is the oldest.

Geez, lots of my stuff is 50+ years old...

Econowaves with 1960s JBL LE14a drivers

Magnavox modded 8802 amp cicra late 1960s

Various tubes from 1960s and 1970s, maybe 1950s in some cases

AR XA turntable circa

Probably late 1960s

Shure M91ED cartridge circa 190s

But the oldest thing probably is one of my RCA blackplate 5751s in my Almarro amp that is supposed to be a 1950s tube.

But then again, my equipment rack I just built is basically all 100+ year old barnwood, the plywood for the drawers and hardware being the only exceptions

Here's the AR XA w/ the Shure in it...

A pair of Knight Mono blocks. Late 50's early 60's

 

[Michael LK48]

My Dad's old Scott LK48 amplifier. Refurb'ed, rebuilt and really, really nice.

Have my trusty Technics SL-23, a TEAC A-2000 and a mid-80's Denon cassette deck running through it.
