I have my father's ancient (relatively) receiver, turntable, speakers (big, but sound great), and a few other pieces of equipment that still work fine. He was the audio-visual librarian at a college and got to test a lot of gear over the years, so I imagine he bought the best ones available that he could afford at the time. I also have a large shelf full of the LPs from his house, along with my own. They still sound good, even if playing them is a total novelty for my children. :-)
