 My main station (behind me in the photo) at the time consisted of the entire Heathkit SB Line:
SB-303 Receiver with SB-650 digital display, SB-401 Transmitter, SB-200 HF Amplifier, SB-102 Tranceiver with SB-640 VFO, (2) SB-600 (Spkr/Pwr Supply), SB-610 (Xmit Monitor Scope), SB-620 (Rcvr Panadapter), SB-630 (Station Console),  Heath HD-15 Phone Patch, HM-102 (HF) SWR/Watt Meter, HD-1410 Keyer/Paddles, HW-8 QRP transceiver, and 2 Kleinschmidt TT-98 teletypes with home brew TNC.  VHF was handled by a Yaesu FT-221R all mode rig with HM-2102 (VHF) SWR/Wattmeter. Antennas were a TA-33Jr tribander at 42 feet, crowfoot dipoles for 80 and 40, and stacked 11el beams horizontal at 48 feet for VHF SSB. 

My second station (to the left in the photo) at the time consisted of Drake Equipment:
T-4XB Transmitter, R-4B Receiver, MN-4 Antenna Tuner/SWR/Watt Meter, MS-4 Speaker/Power Supply, also pictured is an extra MS-4 speaker enclosure with various home brew accessories built into it and a second Heath SB-610 Monitor Scope to watch transmitter output. Triband beam was switchable between the two stations.

I had a third station in an adjoining room at the time which also consisted of  Drake twins (T-4XB/R-4B/MN-4) and a Yaesu FT-101E with wire antennas.

(I  havc very little of this equipment today and have recently begun to collect Classic Icom Rigs and CW keys, paddles and bugs.)
