Most appliances these days seem disposable or built to be replaced, with cost and time spared at every opportunity. By the time a new product hits the shelf, its replacement is already on the production line.
Nothing seems nearly as sturdy, charismatic or aesthetically mesmerizing as the predecessors yaoming?
Interested to see what vintage kit strutteurs have in their collection.
Doesn't have to be recording-related. Any protolectronic schitt you own: phones, fridges, cars, you name it...
I currently have:
Roland Space Echo RE-201 (1973):
Grundig TK-141 Reel-To-Reel (1970):
Recently copped a Philips EL3302 Tape Cassette Recorder (1968):

Yo Mr Lee, that tape recorder is that the one Ako used for his drums?
No. I have a hunch that Ako was talking about the Sony TC50...

I used to have my dad's old solid-state stereo amp, which was a wonderful piece of equipment. It blew a fuse, so I ended up leaving it behind when I packed up and moved to the west coast, which was essentially a guarantee that it would be thrown away. I really regret that decision now.
Thanks.
Eddie Harris Approved!
The Beastie Boys used that on the front of a t-shirt, and on the back it reads "Fuck All Y'all"
Ohhh... I see an EchoPlex on the floor too.
:bizzo:

'70s Twin Reverb
70's Slingerland Kit

Sourcing out some vintage gear now tonight hopefully.
Also... Holding out for the rare red color.
I got it for free, but missing the pedal... I'm now searching all over my work for it ha!
Nerded out Luxman stereo gear for awhile:
Uh, are we sticking to audio equip only? If not, got a late 60's benz on the side:
Mine has the Kenton Midi Retrofit.
selling my one of these is a regret for sure :-(

1964 Guild Starfire II
early 70s Ibanez ES345
mid 70s Hohner L6
78 Precision
64 Simpson Pan-O-Sonic
62 Gretsch 6120
Boss CE-1 (Chorus & Vibrato) so old it plugs straight into the wall 240volts, no adapter/battery for this thing!
It's essentially the circuitry from a Roland Jazz Chorus amp in a stomp box.
Sold this to buy my McIntosh XR7's... I still write myself notes that I post around the house that say, "you made the right decision"
thats a rhodes student edition
i recently got one of these. its the business.
what made you decide to sell it for the mcintosh's? those student editions are tough as shit to find.
I had to see what it sounded like and found this youtube video
1956 "oval window" bug
Want!
The new ones apparently use inferior Chinese chips vs. the Panasonics.
I have a Delay obsession.
The Boss one I have is holding me over, but a vintage Memory Man would be the bidness.
Liking the guitars... especially the Gretsch.
Just splurged on this a few months a go:
Gibson 1964 B 45 12 String Guitar
Tangerine for days!
Oh shit. That's awful.
Post some fresh pics when you get her back up to code.
