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.

My dad had a 70's twin tape deck stereo when I was a kid, it had balance sliders on it for recording tape to tape... which we found out was perfect for copying computer games that more modern stereos struggled with. It was a counter top system rather than a tower and probably at least close to 1m wide. I remember him replacing it at the end of the 80's with some weird little stereo that could play both sides of an LP without turning it over.
