I hung on to a couple turntables, still have a nice cassette player, and even 8 track / receiver combos. Babyrock used to rant that we were the only family left in the world that did not have a CD player. AFTER I got the CD player, she discovered Sgt Pepper, Dark Side of the Moon, Moondog Matinee, and some other vinly and loved it.
I am currently restoring an old stereo hi-fi that comes in a wooden cabinet that must be 60" L x 30" W x 36" H. Gotta get me some tubes.
By the way if you like Cosby - check out Sinbad.
