I wish! My dad bought the very cheapest stuff from Lafayette; turntable, amp. Ceramic cartridge. I remember the pencil marks he put on to indicate how loud I could turn it up; a 12AX7 and two 35C5s, a 35W4. Speakers were whatever we had lying around; just the raw drivers hanging from a wire up in the corner of a wall. OB! Cabinets was my thing sometime later, which he helped me to construct. He had an early Volkswagon and put a tube radio (I remember the vibrator) from a Chevrolet under the front seat. He could change stations and adjust volume while driving.
This fellow has an entertaining perspective on tape machines, with experience to back it up. Only 12 minute watch to make his point, which I like.

I'm not actually sure whether the above is considered to be "VINTAGE" ?
