What's the oldest piece of gear in your system?


This site is here for the buying and selling of Audio equipment. This causes me to wonder if most of us have relatively new equipment. If most of it is new, what is the oldest piece of equipment still in use, and why are you still using it?

My oldest piece is a Sota Star Sapphire, but it has been upgraded. It was originally purchased as a Sapphire in the 80's, but was upgraded to a Star Sapphire about two or three years ago.

What's your story?

Oldest pieces are a match set of mono block tube amps built in feb 1963. Have upgraded them over the last 8 years. Next is a 1986 AI modulus 2a. Newest item, a 2003 Philips 963 bought for $25 and repair/modded. Had an old fisher system turner/pre with a el84 amp years ago, along came a dynakit system in the early 70's.
