This dust-coated Technics equalizer was part of a beautiful five-piece stereo set bought in 1992 and installed in a stereo cabinet in the living room. (The other components of the set were an amplifier, AM-FM tuner, CD player, and a cassette deck.) We used the equalizer once or twice.

In 2004 we needed room in the cabinet for a newly-purchased DVD player, so the equalizer was removed, photographed, cleaned, and stored in another room. Two years later I dusted it off again and gave it away during a garage sale.
