And now I'm a week late to this post so may not generate much interest.
In the 8th grade I received a Steelman portable (mono) with AM, BSR changer and built in speaker. By the time I started college I "modified" it by wiring up a 10" outboard, full range (!) speaker. Then after school was interrupted by 3 years in the Navy I returned and built my first stereo system.
I don't have any pictures (sorry to say) but many of you will be familiar with the components. Those consisted of Dynakit St-70, PAS-3, and FM-3 (which all worked upon completion), with AR-4 speakers and a Dual 1009 with Empire cartridge. Then I built a "rack" with 12" decorator cement blocks and pine boards stained walnut to match the speakers and tt base.
Looking back I can't say many systems I assembled over the decades gave more musical pleasure. ;^)
