You should be able to find it at http://www.classicspeakerpages.net/ and/or at www.hifiengine.com

I spent a lot of time looking through the ads and brochures on those sights and did't see the ads. I went to Rutgers library yesterday in the blizzard and spent a couple of hours looking through Opera news and saw a lot of Zenith ads esspecialy their circle of sound ads.

I've seen a lot of those over the years their marketing was great, but it was the begining of junk stereo before that Zenith made some decent stuff.

When the weather gets better I will go to the public library which has all of the hi-fi mags in bound copies.

Those circle of sound speakers work very well outdoors. In that context, they really are surprisingly appealing.

Guys- please search/look before posting just anything. Duplicates will thicken the thread needlessly.

Was looking at my comic book collection the other day and found a neat old yamaha ad on the back...will upload it when i get a chance

I don't actually know what was pictured...looked like a piano pattern on whatever it was...but then it looked like the front of an old 40's car with the rounded hood/grill...

Times were sure different, weren't they?

This is unintentionally funny. They don't say the Westinghouse sounds better...

Our '64 Westinghouse console sounded awful stock. It was absolutely built down to a price.

After a bunch of upgrades, and some re-engineering, we get a lot more enjoyment out of it.

You don't have to be an expert to tell the difference.

Why did everyone wear hats back then?

'cause the ads date back before these guys hit the big time...
