Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

Exactly

I'm with you Bobbo. I'm keeping all of my gear for that reason. In the past I only took a bath selling my gear. I have mostly bought new over the years and kept them mint. Curse the lucky stiffs who bought my mint gear for 30 cents on the dollar!
When I was a teenager in the early to mid seventies, everybody wanted a good "stereo". Everyone I knew eventually had at least a receiver, turntable and speakers. A lot of those systems ended up in the attic after marriage. But some of my old friends are still into music and audio.
Now I don't see any kids (I have a lot of nieces and nephews) wanting a stereo system. It's all Ipods, video games and computers. Audio is an expensive hobby now.
Kids could do alright with a used or budget system. I could put together a decent new system for under a grand today, I think. The interest is simply not there.
