You can’t kill Japanese-made electronics made in the 70’s/80’s/90’s . I have a top end Trio ( Marantz ) turntable made in 1975 that still works like a champ . All I’ve done is replace the stylus regularly , My Onkyo amp/receiver was bought in 1995 and I’ve never had a problem with it . Before the Onkyo I had a Pioneer amp/receiver which I sadly had to sell to a Japanese friend before moving back to the USA for 6 months in 1995 ( when I bought the Onkyo ) . It was bought in 1981 and she is still using it !
I have a Technics turntable from 1982. Still works fine.
JBL 100s around the same vintage.
A DENON 80 watt integrated amp from the late 1980s.
A Yamaha tuner I bought at the same time as the amp.
The Nakamichi cassette player that I bought in 1982 went to the dump.
I also have a SONY carousel CD player from the late 1980s.
A few years ago a picked up a pair of Altec Lansing speakers at a garage sale for $20. They are about 4’ tall.
FYI, the Panasonic AM/FM 8 track stereo I reffered to in my previous post sits on the bench in my garage. The Thrusters speakers are mounted up on the wall. The eight track does not work anymore, but the stereo still cranks even though it is 45 years old. It was my first stereo I bought when I was 14.
