What did your system look like 30 years ago?

As best as I can recall, this is what I had

Magnepan MG1.4 speakers; Rega Planar 3 turntable with a Linn K9 cartridge; CAL Icon CD player;  Adcom GTP500 II tuner/preamp; Adcom GFA545 amp

I still have my Zerostat which I bought in the 80's-

30 years ago I had one of those spinning things that hung over my crib.  It played nursey rhymes.  Sound quality was mediocre at best, but I enjoyed it.  Helped me sleep.
