1980's, bought from the proceeds of my paper-round:
Garrard SP25 Mark 5 - £49.99 (new old stock in a local store, I didn't know anything about it but with belt drive and a suspended chassis it looked a bit like the expensive turntables in What Hi-Fi at the time. Unfortunately it was crap.)
Sony TA242 amp - £39.99 (bought mail order, a friend's big brother had one of these so at least I knew that it would work, plus it had LEDs that showed the power!)
Pioneer CS363 speakers - £39.99 (mail order again - from one of those clearance stores that advertised at the back of What Hi-Fi, another friend already had a set of these and I thought they were OK, certainly much better than the ones on the Panasonic music centre I was previously using)
The turntable and amp were on an old coffee table and the speakers rested on top of upright car ramps (balanced against dining chairs) - those were the days!
