I'm surprised nobody called the coppers for stealing it at $30 when you took it >@^_*@<
Wouldn't have changed a thing, we're on a defunding police phase.

That's strange. I can never figure out for sure exactly when they are.I bought a bunch of those too. Problem is, I haven't been able to install them in my system because I can never seem to figure out for sure exactly where they are.

My old Adcom GFA-555, my first power amp:
The mkII?
I would actually rate the GFA-555 mk1 or 2 as arguably one of the most significant audiophile products of all time.
Just a wonderful, well built, honest US made product by a respected designer. If there was a HiFi equivalent to the rock'n'roll hall of fame, it'd be in there for sure.
First thought: how old does an amp have to be to be vintage?
For cars, I think the rule is 20 years for 'classic' status.
'Antique' are 45 years old, and 'vintage' are pre-WWII.

Of course, with digital gear, "obsolete" happens much faster. There's a Stereophile posting today, a review from November, 1995, of the Mark Levinson #36 DAC, one of the pricer DACS of the time. Not exactly obsolete, but really close considering how most people listen to music these days. The technological changes of Digital sound come fast and furious. Has there been that much change with amplifiers?

Heisenberg's cat -- "now vhere in ze heck did I put zat danged zing, Erwin?!"Depends upon your point of view, of course. All depends upon the observer.
There is no universal definition for cars.
To qualify for Historical Vehicle plates in most states, it's 20-25 years old. The Classic Car Club of America only considers cars manufactured between the years 1915 and 1948 to be classic. That's close to what I recall hearing that cars had to be "pre-war." I think Hagerty Insurance considers a car to be antique or classic if it's at least 40 years old.
Antique has always been a minimum of 100 years old.
a work of art, piece of furniture, or decorative object made at an earlier period and according to various customs laws at least 100 years ago
Not with cars.
Here is what an insurance company says:
"One of the basic guidelines that many states use is the car's age: any car over 45 years old is considered an antique"
It is funny how long existing words with specific accepted definitions get "adjusted" as time goes on.
