Old stuff you still use.

During the 1970's how many of you remember Quadraphonic, 4 channel, stereo systems?
Still use this Sansui QRX 5500 receiver, Akai GX-280D-SS Reel to Reel tape player, and Bose 501 speakers.
Back in the day, these components were the top of the line, in audio equipment.

I remember! Never owned the reel to reel but we had the Bose speakers! In fact I found a nice set if bookshelf Bose at an estate sale that a gave to my son. Radio shack used to put out some serious on the market back then to, Machs!

I used to have our family daily drivers equipped with these flush adapter tees full time, but removed them over time and just connect a temporary "jumper" hose in with the tee until flushing is done then remove the tee/jumper, like I did/do on my hobby cars. So, I have a few. These were all purchased in the early 80s, and I still have one unopened kit.

My first Pentium 100 computer was a Packard Bell.

My parents had a console like that. The tuner had a grid and crosshairs for the station selection.
When we cleaned out my mom’s house, it was donated to the Good Will.

I think that was a newer transistorized model (this one is all tube)
