The one piece of gear you will never sell


So much gear comes and goes, but do you have any keepers for life? 

For me, I'll never part with my Zerostat, LP12, and MR78 tuner. I think.

I , in all likelyhood will hold onto my very good deals ---  A gone through (by S.Sank)  Museatex  CD-D   &  my PS Audio Lambda --both transports only and use the last of the quality Philips mechanisms... CDM 1 mkii and CDM 9 pro respectively.      I also will unlikely let go of my tuners--- Kenwood 600t  and 2 Sony's.    ST-A6b and a ST-J75-   The Kenwood and ST-A6b were both gone through by B. Ammons.   The ST-J75 completely gone through including a re-pot of the tranny by ASL..  That was $500 restoration that was done for free ( its a story)  I gave 100 toward parts.   I cant see parting with that because I would never get good money out of it---even though the 75 is a bit of a sleeper.. It sells for only 100 give or take on the used market. 
  The ST-A6B is really a sleeper.    It is right up there with the best I have ever heard  --some of which are:   Accuphase T-100, MR74, Hitachi and others.   Its a 6 gang tuner which usually was offered in much pricier tuners back in the day.
That being said and not to hijack the thread ---Zavato--- Does that Zerostat really work for you?    I bought a brand new one and it doesnt seem to do a thing.  Im having an issue with my vintage Technics DD 1600mkii  with static ..  And it has never had this problem before and   I keep testing to see if the issue in question is coming from the table itself or discs.  Some of my discs seem to have a lot of static.   I guess I will have to use the spin easy or whatever it is called.  Never used it yet, lol.   just doesnt seem like my vinyl is dirty to warrant it although I will say some records seem to have an inordinate amount of static.   
Just to mention---the good deals on the transports being that it happens sometimes with the advent of music servers and the like.  I scored my Lambda and Museatex for 400 and 300 respectively.  And I did have the PSA  perfect wave which I did not like the noisy mechanism---although a good sounding transport no doubt.
