I was 4 years old, listening to a record on headphones connected to this rig. Leaned too far back, and caught the 1/4 inch input jack on the headphones right in my fucking eyeball.

Separate Tuner, Cassette Deck, Amplifier, CD player, Equalizer, and Turntable?
I am old enough and if that system were in good shape I would set it up in my living room right now. Would probably leave the cassette deck and CD player in storage though.
It's the battery driven stuff that drives me nuts, nothing beats the "just push the button and it all works" kind of thing.
CDs are so small though, I'm tinkering with "USB stick playlists".
