I was 4 years old, listening to a record on headphones connected to this rig. Leaned too far back, and caught the 1/4 inch input jack on the headphones right in my fucking eyeball.

we had some classical LPs - gershwin, copeland, holst etc., and I remember getting them on CD and hooking that to the high fi. no flutter. no dust. no pops and hiss..... and all played at the right time, apparently our record player was 10-15% slow and no one knew.... blew my mind.
