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.

Holy shit, that exact Sony EQ is right beside me! It’s an SEH-310, made in Japan, 1981. I’m old enough to remember racks like that, was far too poor for stack of Sony gear. My shit has always been a random mess of cobbled together gear.
This was common. I didn’t know anyone who actually went out and bought everything all the same brand right out of the gate.
There was always that one family in the neighborhood.
That was my dad, sorry. He was 100% the crabass who had the system and never let anybody touch it, and, worst of all, barely ever used it himself. It was just as fun being his daughter as it sounds. Plbbbt!
Lol, this comment at least makes up for it some 😂
Also, i love the aesthetic of these old stereos. Kinda makes me want to hunt one down now. Of course with my luck the market is probably hot for them these days so it’s probably not as cheap as it would have been 10-15 years ago and given the age there’s a chance they’ll need some TLC to get them working properly again… Then i would probably plug my phone in through the Aux and just end up using it that way like 90% of the time if I’m being real, lol 😅
We were decidedly middle class. My dad pounded tin for a living. He just liked music I guess.
I remember dorking around the EQ sliders, though having to reach a bit to get at them. This thing (black eye excluded) is probably why I’m hugely into music to this day. Some core memory forming shit or something
