Dont you miss your first gear ?
 

Dont you miss your first (vintage ?) gear ?

I dont have my old gear anymore , most i gave to family as i bought more expensive (and hopefully better) stuff and since i live in a smal apartement i couldnt keep it . Every now and then i wish i´d still have my sony cdp and deck , technics eq and amp and jbl speakers - my first stereo !

what about you ?

I had several old gears. Actually, I have a very old Becker Brescia automotive valve radio, AM band only, but autoseeking stations mechanically, it is currently working pretty fine. Here is a photo of any similar, but not the mine. The large brilliant bar is the start seeking button. It´s surprisingly how the manufacturer could do it all brass pieces. And in 1958 !!! And how well it do its job half a century later. Only a very small gota of oil in the mechanical guides of the coil cores.

Do you remember the original Class A amps ? Low Power but beautiful.

I can't find a pic of mine but it was a Sony ghetto with a 3D woofer on the back.
I wish I still had it. It was well made.

I took it apart. I took everything apart.

I still take everything apart.

Whats wrong with me?

I just found in a plastic bag near the dump , some cassettes .
Just finished to play Jony Mitchell and now....AC/DC Back in Black :):)
There's always a first time !
No I don't miss my gear ...it's in my heart ...well I miss the tiny interstage trasformers that polpulated some portable radio/ recorders in the '70s

It's already finished !!
I shall put it again !!
Done !! It's a flash :worship:
Back in black !!

This was my first piece of audio equipment - showing my age a little?
Still have it, still sounds good. Not as loud as I remember it, but still far, far better than the iPod docks of today (runs on 6x D cell batteries, or mains).

PS - there's a neat feature where the tweeters (on top) do something with the phase so it sounds about 6' wide. Very neat.

This was my first and only system from the '80s
A pair of infinity 3 way went after ...I still have two chokes :D

I don't miss my first gear, but I miss those times, student days - great beer, Sundays spent in the University hall of residence with everyone's gear on full blast playing the Top 40 on the radio with lots of hot pizza...... :D

My first gear looked like this. Open baffle, single ended pentode output, alnico speaker, tube rectifier. And welded, no solder at all! Like all modern audiophile fashions together. :D
