MANUFACTURER’S SALES LITERATURE

 

Sales literature was issued by audio equipment manufacturers for use by dealers and exhibitors at hi fi shows to provide potential buyers with additional technical information about their products.  What is usually included is a complete description of available models, specifications, features,  performance curves and pictures.

 

I have a large collection of this literature dating from approximately 1948 through the early 1980s.  Pricing each piece would be an enormous project so I can only state that prices are based on scarcity, demand, size, complexity and condition.  The prices for items of pgs 1 to 4  in good condition would range approximately $5 to $35.  I sell only originals, not Xerox copies.  Below is a partial list of companies whose literature is available, but I also have many more items from smaller companies.  Please ask and I’ll see if I have it.
