A Grundig-Majestic console stereo at my Godparents house when I was still a tot. It had doors that swung open so I could play records on my own. I inherited it when they passed on and still have it to this day. It still works!
I kept on my parents to get one and after being a major annoyance to no end, off to Sears we went. Shortly after a used Silvertone console was delivered. I was so excited to finally have my own stereo to play records on. This unit had a flip top to access the record changer. My parents remember me playing the first few records (at 4 years old no less) and telling them that it didn't sound as good as my godparents unit....
Needless to say I still have a huge appreciation for nice reproduction of recorded music.
