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.

At least $1000 to get properly started back in the day, although usually family that could afford these would not have purchased it all at once. Modules were added later in a couple of cases that I knew.

In 2025 money, that's like $5000-ish to fill the cabinet.

It's either 5000 dollars or 20 bucks because estate sales just want the fuckers gone.

So not an insane amount of money to spend on something that should last for decades.
