My long lost family’s GE Decorator Stereo, from 1962/63.

We had this same unit when I was a kid, pictured at 7 years old. I foolishly left it out for the trash back in 1990.

Bought one last year in the same exact style. Shocked to discover my weird jumper bypass still inside one of the speakers, and further confirmed / identified this as my literal stereo, come home mysteriously after 35 years presumed lost. Updated picture at 70 years old.

My wife still doesn’t believe it. I’m 100% sure it’s actually my old stereo. Confirmed with seller that the previous owner to him trash picked it up from my old neighborhood. They had saved it from my trash man, held it for 35 years, gave it to seller and he fixed the garrard turntable and sold it back to me for $125.
