I still use my Dad's old hifi from the 70s to listen to records. It's one of the only things I have that was his, so it has a lot of sentimental value to me.

I don't still have my dad's whole 60s-era stereo but I do have the speakers and they're absolutely fantastic. Heavy as fuck with the giant magnets and solid wood cabinets. Modern stuff just does not compare, especially on the low frequency end.

Those are the best systems. They can always be repared, not like the junk they have been selling since the 80s. Make sure to keep it, and maybe get a recap at some point.

It desperately needs a recap and pot clean/replace, but I need to find someone who can do it.

I could probably do it myself, but I don't trust myself to not screw it up.

Dude, same with my fiance. Her dad passed a year and a half ago, but left her his Audio Technica SL1200 turntable, speakers, and all his vinyls.

A little gift was in one of the Rolling Stones albums he had, when we opened it up a little piece of paper fell out, and it was a signed concert ticket by Mick Jagger. We were stoked to have that little piece of her dad like that.

I miss her dad so much man
