Name That Gear
No prizes - but loads of kudos to the first one who can track down the make and model of the 3 pieces of gear in the photo ... and even more if you provide links to web pix
The slide this was cropped from was taken some time in the early 80s* (I think...)
*actually late 70s

Excellent work - spot on !!
Was a great amp that I really enjoyed ... particularly liked the look of the textured rubber grips on the controls. No idea why I got rid

I'm guessing you could only afford a 3w light bulb at that time!

light bulb ??? - unheard of luxury.... a candle with a reflector does the job at a fraction the costI'm guessing you could only afford a 3w light bulb at that time!

Finally managed to track down the R2R via Google image search - a Sony TC-270 (knew it was a Sony, just not the model)
A very basic model but (in my memory) not at all bad:
Just the third item to find which I think was probably a tuner with preset buttons (can't really recall any cassette player I had with buttons like that)

Another challenge - this is from about 1976 and was scanned from a scrap at the tail end of a film.
Usually these kind of shots were taken either when I had just loaded a film or wanted to end one so I could get it developed.
I rummaged through my old negs after a recent thread on AoS about the Teleton SAQ206B and sure enough, I did have one (rather than the model I thought I had)
Challenge here is to track down the top-loader cassette deck sat on top which I dimly remember being a Phillips (and half-width)
(Incidentally - this is most definitely evidence of 'grain'
