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?

like several other posters mine is a Kenwood KT-917 tuner, which I rarely use due to LOUSY radio in Miami and not a great antenna. It's also one of my all time 'deals' as I purchased a demo for $179 and they're selling used for $600-$800 now
My oldest equipment is a Yamaha DSP-1 surround sound processor + Yamaha amp + KEF C-20 speakers (circa 1986). Next oldest is a Magnum Etude tuner.

The newest piece is a Naim CDS-3 cd player.
