Sorry no photos, but my first system was mono:
Shure M3D in a Garrard SP25 Mk. II (?) into a home-built Mullard 5-10 valve amp using a Sugden C-51 preamp. The speaker was a home-built 1.5cu ft distributed port Wharfedale design using a Wharfedale Super 8/RS/DD drive unit.
Stereo followed with a second Mullard 5-10 and a second identical speaker. Front end was then changed to a Shure M55E in an SME arm on a Collaro 2020 turntable. Now that was my "first proper hi-fi system"!
Have you listened to this month's choice in the Album Club?
