Your oldest gear?


What’s the oldest piece of equipment in your system? 
 

What piece of equipment have you owned the longest? 

zavato

1965 McIntsosh Mc240

1965 McIntosh Mx110z

1965 McIntosh MR67

Purchased 2/3 in 1978 (still have original receipts from both 1965 and 1978) - Mx110z replaced the 1965 C24 last year.  Mc240/Mx110z have had PSUs rebuilt and cap work.  They sound great to my ears.

My oldest gear are my ears.

Next is a Cary Audio pre amp, approximately 15 years old.  It’s been retubed

HARMAN KARDON AVR 25II (still functions but sits there)

NHT SuperOne (sold; after 25 years for $100)

Marantz CD63SE player (broken)

Audio Research Sub. (still functions but sits there)

I wish i could own your vintage gear system...

Congratulations !

I like your listening room too ...
