I remember lusting over a TEAC reel to reel back then.

Those are some pretty old grandparents!

Old and rich! At least before 1979!
My great grandparents parents, on mother side, used to own a series of manufactures and companies, in Armenia and Georgia, back in late 1890's. Match Making, textile and some traditional Handcrafts, including carpet.
After 1917 events, most of their belongings were taken, first by Turks, then by Soviets, and they were forced to leave and entered Iran.
They've opened a new carpet workshop, in Urmia's suburbs, in 1926. The workshop was seized and used as a storeroom by Soviets, after they attacked Iran. The ruins, were visible, last time I visit the area, back in 2016.
My father's side, were living in the area that is known as "Iran" today, since The Asur Kingdom, around 4700 years ago. They moved to Yazd back in early 700's, and later Tehran from 1750.

When you start throwing those dates around it reminds me that the "modern" world we live in is a blink of an eye in the history of civilization. I wonder what people will think of this era in history in 4700 years.

That's something I'm thinking time to time!!!
It's one of these 2:
En route to a new "Earth" ...
Or
Turned back to 100000 years ago ...
Either way, they would know as much, as we know of our past!

If not mistaken, Albert Einstein once said:
"I have no idea about how would 3rd world war be like, but I know the 4th one will be with sticks and stones."

Rumor has it this is the P-47 that they may have bought? Unable to confirm, but can't wait to take a look when it gets there. My favorite WWII fighter.

Nice!! I still have my Akai reel-to-reel. Well, it's in the box in the basement, but it DOES work! Should get it out again and yes, I still have tapes I recorded on it!

I've still got my late 80's Pioneer rack downstairs: equalizer, tuner, pre-amp, 6 stack CD player and dual cassette deck. I did give #2 daughter my Marantz Direct Drive turntable as she is buying new LPs; got this in the late 70's
Just recently (within the last 6 mo) bought a new turntable. I never got rid of my 600+ albums so it's nice to once again listen to a lot of stuff that either was never released on CD or I never bought on CD. Plus, I'm definitely one of those who *seriously* loves those occasional pops and hisses from LP's!
By the way......still have the speakers too? I'd imagine they're huge AND heavy!

Remember taping spare change to the top of the needle cartridge to prevent skipping on very old LP's? My first LP was Paranoid by Black Sabbath. Had it for years.....more scratch the music but I could never part with it.
Haha....yup! I'm a jazz snob so there's no Black Sabbath in my collection but you gotta see if you still have it!
