Oldest gear still for sale is . . .


Some gear seem to last, others, not so much. 

Can anyone think of anything hifi thats been in production longer than the Denon DL-103 cartridge? 55 years and still plugging away! Kennedy was in the White House when he DL-103 first came out-

Not many components can say they have been in commerce for a long time, but haven't become dated and superseded by more current gear,

The SME V arm came out in 1985, was considered one of the handful of top tonearms available, and continues now, 32 years later in the same company.  Hard to think of any other component that has not only continued in production but has also held its place vis a vis newer gear.
