I still have my 8-track component too. I bought my receiver in 1979 (Feb IIRC).
I’ve got a JVC with CD - I meant to buy the cassette - almost glad I didn’t though I would have liked to record some Christmas music - songs I didn’t know (2) - my phone will tell me what they are if I can get them played at the right level.
So the Pioneer, Two JVC’s and another TV sound system (new) are all in their boxes. Plus a brand new set of speakers I bought and never hooked up - Sony’s I think - boxes got damaged but the speakers were still in the plastic. It was like $1000 for them - now almost 20 years ago.
I used to have stereos all over my house and at the office to keep me occupied while I worked - really helped when writing software. i have another office JVC but it’s just a single CD with radio. Still it’s easy enough to take in the car.
