lolFrom bottom to top is a Roland RE-501 tape echo, a Radio Shack 20 band equalizer, a TEAC cassette unit and an Akai power amp. The speakers were Radio Shack as well. The mic just behind the front speaker is an Electo-Voice Model PL-80 that I’m still using today. Sadly the Les Paul was stolen in 1985, at which point I packed it all in for 13 years.
@GuitarSith @NigelTufnel @SamanthaJaneSmith Ooh, I was gonna ask about that LP in the background. What a drag that it got nicked.

It’s a 1978 LP Standard, I’m guessing it’s probably still out there somewhere. I sold my Aria LP lawsuit guitar to buy it. Think I got $200 for the Aria and paid $1100 for the Gibson. I wish I still had both of them, I really regret letting the Aria go. -

My old mocha ‘72 strat hardtail tops my list. Bought for $600 in 1979. Sold it when I needed rent money in university.

@elsemusic @strayhorse @GuitarSith @NigelTufnel @SamanthaJaneSmith I never actually had that much gear to let go of
but I did own an old, battered Marshall JCM-800 head which I kinda wish I still had - even though there's absolutely no way I could crank it at home without instantly getting evicted 
(I was never a straight-up rock player, more like blues fusion back then, so odd choice of amp but I got it cheap & I was poor)
