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.
ALTEC, BOZAK, BROCINER, BROOK, DYNA, ELECTRO-
VOICE, FAIRCHILD, FISHER, FUTTERMAN, HADLEY,

AUDIO MAGAZINES
In addition I have a large collection of Hi-Fi magazines including AUDIO, HIGH FIDELITY, HI-FI STEREO REVIEW, STEREO REVIEW, STEREOPHILE and ABSOLUTE SOUND dating from approximately 1955 to 2000 and depending on publishing span. Reasonable prices.

Reluctantly, I am also selling my collection of PLAYBOY, dated from 1958 to the present. The issues are all in excellent condition and will be sold by the year. Prices are reasonable.
