We also have a turntable, receiver and tuner. Hubby refuses to give it up even though it hasn't been played in about 20 years. We just move it from house to house. Have a ton of LPs to go with it, including the first Beatles album.
I guess the oldest thing in my kitchen, besides me that is, is a bowl from a Pyrex bowl set that I got for a wedding shower gift in 1974. I also have some Corning Ware pans that are probably 35 years old.
But the oldest item in our house is a 1952 Seeburg Model C jukebox that still lights up and still works and is in excellent physical condition. And of course the 100s of 45s to go with it. Hubby used to buy up and restore jukeboxes and resell them for a hobby and at one time had about 25 in various stages of repair. When we moved to our first retirement house had had to sell all of them but one, and this is the one he kept because it was the prettiest and best sounding. We had movers when we came to this house and they were far from happy having to move it up to the loft area with hubby hovering over them. He even removed the 2 large control boards to lighten the load a bit. He also build a special wooden "cage" for around it for the move.
However we do not have a landline and haven't had one for well over 15 years.
I'm sure the word "turntable" sounds to Gen Z like "Victrola" sounded to us, back in the 70's.
My son grew up with one. I used to play my little kid records on my grandmother's Victrola that was in our basement.
