Subject: Early 90s Electronics/Audio

I was wondering, did anyone have a home set up like this? And what is each (besides the obvious vinyl and cassette player)?

It looks like this household is what I call "slightly behind the times" based on what I see, and probably what most would coin as having that "early-mid '80s look". You can still see the "rabbit ears" antenna on the TV, meaning that it probably doesn't yet have cable (the majority of households had it by then, although remember that many households had just one TV with cable, while others weren't connected, and these look to be the "second basement electronics" that the kids like myself had to use. That also looks like an NES game just to the left of the TV.

To me, it looks more 80s, even though I understand this came from the early 90s. If you looked at my baby pictures, it could've had technology like that.

That reminds me when my parents got a new TV around 2002/3. We previously had an old TV from the 80s, which had an Audio/Video composite on the back.
