Thats all I can remember for now!
my mic's are the old SHURE 58's which I never replaced
and I still use my JBL TR-125 speakers that are more than 15 years old and still sounding great!
the only gear I use that's REALLY old (but NOT considered vintage)
is ME!

~ Yamaha NS-1000 studio monitors (four cabinets) used in my music listening studio matched with an audiophile quality Benchmark DAC-1 USB
~ Yamaha NS-500 studio monitors (four cabinets) used in my home gym with a Yamaha CR-1020 receiver
~ Yamaha NS-500 studio monitors (two cabinets) and Klipsch signature series studio monitors (two cabinets) with a Yamaha CR-1020 receiver in my master bedroom
circa 1977 - 1980
All of the NS-500's have had the woofers professionally refoamed
All of the NS-1000's are 100% original. The Beryllium tweeters are still astounding!

Most of my stuff is fairly new....
But I have a TASCAM Portastudio that uses standard cassette tapes to record 4 channels at a time.
I have a pair of tube large diaphragm microphones that's been said to fall between the Neumann U47 and AKG C12, but it's still being made - and mine are fairly new (M-Audio Sputnik).
I have an old Peavey Twin DeltaFX which is older, but I'm not sure I'd call it 'vintage'.
I used to have a Radio Shack mixer that I did 'voice over' tapes for my GF's.
I used to have a Marantz Tape Deck that may still be floating around someplace.
I still have Technics SL1200 MKII's, and one's signed by Norman Cook (Fat Boy Slim) - but I'm not sure they're 'vintage' either.
I've got some minidisc players... including about 100-150 pre-recorded minidiscs... but I'm not sure that's 'vintage' either...
I have LOTS of other gear... but most of it is fairly new technology.

My tops are home built, the originals were made in the 70's they have been redone a few times but the cabinets are original will never part with these.
Still have the original Bose L1 Beta
Rick,
You are a mess!
Luv ya man! You make signing on to ODJT a pleasure! 
Have a pair of the '70s vintage RS Mach I speaker systems. Bought 'em new in 1978. Started out DJing with them in the early '90s. Have never had to go inside em ~ they still work like new.

Fred,
If you take those things to a Gig, they will put you in a Straight Jacket!

That's prob'ly true, lol. I DJed with 'em for a couple years though. 100 watt RS receiver to feed 'em. They were the first decent home stereo speakers I owned.
