Trio FM105 Tuner, bought from Wild & Marr in 1965. Never a moment's problem and still working.

Not sure what the definition of vintage is, but here is my full NAD system (only missing a TT).
All components are over 20 years old. I bought the amp and cd player brand new, it was my second "high-end" hifi which I bought when I landed my first job. The first hifi was a smaller NAD system that I bought when I was a student.
The system is in daily use.

C540 cd player

Gosh! I didn't know Wild & Marr had been around that long.

- I didn't know that they were still in existence! It used to be a great store to shop in, bought my Rex output transformers for the Mullard 5-20s amps as well from them.-F_D

The Durban branch is (if it's still going) mostly pro audio gear, though I recall it had some hi-fi stuff (going back more than 10 years).

Wonderful! I have a similar Pioneer tuner (separate gangs for FM/AM) from about the same period.

You realise everytime I switch this on, Eskom increases load-shedding by one stage

Picked up an AR Cambridge A60 4 months ago and finally sourced a 5 din to mini jack just to see if the old girl works.
Volume knob needs a bit of maintenance as crackles when adjusted, other than that the unit sounds lovely, tested with el cheapo Sanyos as they were near by, and found myself listening for over and hour, will be connecting AR4X's at the weekend once I pick up some stands.
Question- for ya'll vintage folk - what are the white connectors (2nd pic) for and necessary to connect ?

An old RCA Cathedral Radio, AM MW/SW Radio from around 1935. It worked the last time I fired it up but that was some 12-15 years ago. Time I sorted it out, I guess, makes a wonderful conversation point.
