Vintage Gear Strut (Rep Yours-Related)

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):

    I apologize for the shitty iphone pictures. I really need to take some better pictures with my DSLR when I get everything set back up in my record room.

    No. I have a hunch that Ako was talking about the Sony TC50...

    Ummm...does an SP1200 count?

    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.

    The Beastie Boys used that on the front of a t-shirt, and on the back it reads "Fuck All Y'all"

    I was finally given this a couple months back. Still lovin' it.



    Sourcing out some vintage gear now tonight hopefully.
  • RAJRAJ tenacious local 7,782 Posts
    The Wurlitzer 200a is a major want, but I suppose I should learn the Rhodes.

    Also... Holding out for the rare red color.

    selling my one of these is a regret for sure :-(
  • holmesholmes 3,532 Posts
    some shit i can find pics of, there's more.
    early 60s Harmony Stratotone

    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.

    Forgot about my late 70's EHX Deluxe Memory Man, I just had this tuned up by the original designer (he lives in Brooklyn) and it sounds incredible.

    I've posted it before but here it is again since you mentioned cars too. I'm sad to report that it was wrecked back in April. An old lady ran me off the road when I was towing it back from the Texas VW Classic show. My truck was totaled and the bug got a lot of damage all the way around but is fixable. I am slowing getting all of the parts together to make it whole again. I hope to have it completed in the next few months. It sucks that it happened but I am happy to be alive after the wreck. I am trying to stay positive and keep telling myself that it will look better than ever when it is done.

    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.

    Gibson 1964 B 45 12 String Guitar

    Tangerine for days!
