rayzray Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 (edited) was wondering WHY ppl keep their old stuff (audio or video) ; even if it don't work toooo well.aside from cassette recorders; which you can enter; like what possesses (sp) us to hang on to these things.i guess for me (rayzray) other than my cassette stuff; so far it's my ARP Pro-soloist synth & My David Clark headset.very sentimental things to me!!!!

KrazyIvan Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 My Pioneer SE-405's I don't know how old these are since I got them on eBay but my dad had the exact model in the early 80's. I also have a Sony reel-to-reel at my parents house that is from the late 70's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaylen Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 For audio/video, the oldest that I can think of is my dad's stereo unit (with turntable, cassette tape, and 8-track) and the Super Betamax. Both still work, but the Betamax is in a guest room and the stereo is in a box - basically, unused.Ivan, those headphones are cool! They're like an oldschool Eggo.

xatax Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 OMG! I have the SE-305!! Just the same without the volume control per channel! The oldest electronic device (which I still use) must be this turntable which sounds pretty good. The output of this machine goes to this receiver/amplifier which acts only as a pre-amplifier to send it's signal to a much modern Pioneer digital A/V Multi-Channel receiver.

ozpeter Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Quite possibly the oldest working item I have is the mark one minidisc recorder!Or the Aiwa CD player which has a broken power switch so it hasn't been turned off for some years, but keeps running nicely.Power amps seem to go on for ever too.

KrazyIvan Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Sorry ! Graphic card took all my attention .. Ivan,How is the sound from these phones ??You really need an amp for these to sound good. I personally like the sound. They are definitely very "warm" sounding phones. By that I mean the highs are clear but do not sound super crisp. That's as best as I could describe it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacques Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 (edited) Interesting piece here,. RCA Capacitance Electronic Disc player SKT400 I've had for several years (intro'd 1983) Edited April 11, 2006 by Jacques Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rule Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Hm, I tend to get rid of my electronic devices once they get a little 'too' old. I'm not a big fan of keeping old junk around.Assuming we're talking about "electronic devies" that we use for entertainment and not other things like Microwaves or Refrigerators, I'd have to say the oldest device I have in my house that I still use is my Sega Dreamcast.

raintheory Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 I have an old (early 60's) portable reel-to-reel tape recorder that I use for tape loops, etc. I'll get a photo up soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kopfhorer Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 I have a 1946-vintage Zenith AM-FM table radio, the kind with the round, knurled dials and TWO FM bands on it - the original "Armstrong" FM band of 42-50 Mhz as well as the familiar 88-108 Mhz band. It needed some new tubes and it still needs some other work, but it does work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 ... I'd have to say the oldest device I have in my house that I still use is my Sega Dreamcast.Wise decision,.. I've done countless hours of Link Play F355 Challenge (2x JP DCs, 2x TVs + Serial Cable). Easily the best driving simulation available!
