Yeah, 1981 Sony PS-LX510 linear tracking turntable, Teac reel to real, and a Kenwood amp. Open reel deck and amp are probably early 80's. Have an old 8 track player but I'm into vinyl more than anything else.

Thats some good stuff. The best of the 80s. I have a sweet Philips turn table also. I managed to find nice new Shure v15 cartridge about 10 years ago. I am almost afraid to use it as I will never be able to replace it, unless I sell a kidney.Have a Yamaha Pyramid amp, Rotel preamp that pushed ESS AMT1’s(flood took those) or a pair of Norman Labs and a Philips turntable. All 80’s.
A t-amp is feeding Klipsch horns or Bowers and Wilkins at present.
Autophiles are as bad as gun nuts, they see a 60s and 70s Fisher, Marantz, Teac, Yamaha, and several others, they get a woodie. If you want to see something absolutly nuts look up a new old stock Western Electric 300B. That the autophiles touchstone.Two unrelated but on-topic bits -
I will never give up my NAD 3120.
I saw an auctioneer selling a storeroom full of stuff once. Out came a Marantz 8B. He had no idea what it was so he started the bidding at $5. Two guys in the audience knew what it was. I've never seen an auctioneer more shocked as this one when it finally sold somewhere north of $800...and that was 20 years ago. Heaven knows what one would cost today.
There are still plenty of lousy turntables on the market if you want to hear it again.I miss wow and flutter...

Watch facebook market old systems get listed every once in awhile. Just remember some electronic parts degrade with age and will need to replaced.I still love vintage audio. One day if I ever have the disposable money, I'll invest in a system similar to what I had forty years ago. a Kenwood rack system. AM/FM tuner, amplifier, Equalizer, dual cassette player, turntable and huge honking, ground pounding speakers!
