So how old is your "oldest" component?

I've still got:

Sony STR-7015 receiver that my father bought me to go away to college in 1977.
Pair of Infinity Qe's that I bought a year or two later
Pair of Berning ea-230's from, I think, about 1981
Micro Seiki BL-51 that I bought in 1981 or 2
A PS Audio Elite + integrated amp from 1984, recently acquired and serviced
One pair of original Sequerra Met 7's and two pairs of Met 7 Mk. II's, bought from Dick in about 1985
A Macintosh MR74, recently acquired
A Scott 310A tuner
A Heath A-7 amp.
A Superphon Revelation Basic dual mono preamp - mid 80's?

It all works fine!!
 
I think perhaps all my oldest component is perhaps all my component ???

Technics SL-1210 MK II : 30 year's old
Pioneer CT-95S : 23 year's old
Luxman K100 : 30 year's old
Inifinity Kappa 100 : 20 ...
Proceed AMP2 : 22
Tag Mc LAren T32R : 15 ???
 
I got rid of all my vintage gear when got out of this hobby back in the day... jumping back in a few years ago I have tried a lot of different gear, relearning :D...

Well all my tubes are NOS, so I don't really count those... but I picked up a museum quality McIntosh that looks and sounds like the day it rolled out of the factory. Growing up in the shadow of the McIntosh factory I simply need one of their pieces...

The 754 amplifier is from about 1990... so pushing 30 years old...

Focus Audio FS788 which i bought in 2007
and my CD player Audio Aero Prima , also from 2007 ( but don't use it a lot after i got a Lumin streamer )
 
I just remembered the Technics tuner... it is from back in the late '70s early '80s. I actually had one in my system back in the day. It is also pictured in the photo above :).

I own a number of tube tuners for the 1950's. I have four Fisher brand and a couple H.H. Scott. Also a Mac MR55 which is their first tuner. It is mono AM/FM with provision for adding a multiplex unit.

My oldest is an HH Scott 272 from 1960 with a Empire 398 turntable from 1963. I also have a pair of Cornscala's that started out as a circa 1981 Cornwall's and modified about 11 years ago. My newest is a Bluesound Vault 2 which is fantastic!!!
 
My oldest must be the Conrad Johnson PV-5 preamp. I think it was made in '84 or '86, although my Kef R107's were around the same time.
