About a third of the way down the first of the flicker appliance ads: 'HORNYPHON' -- How did we not get this company in the US?

HORNYPHON was an Austrian company started by Friedrich Horny in 1923. It manufactured radios and other audio gear until 1950s, sometime in the 1960s (I think) Philips bought the brand. Some Sound Project pieces were sold as Hornyphones in Austria.

Actually, Austria is famous for their names that sound rather unfortunate in English. They have towns named ****ing:

and **** am See ("am See" means "by the lake"), and ****er is a common last name in this beautiful country, as well as a name or their tour bus operator:

And now for an audio gear ad:

How about a centerfold in a 1978 KMET concert guide for University Stereo. The illustrator is Everette Peck of Duckman and Squirrel Boy fame.

Nice!

Those days - long before these current horrible Internet ads - were marked by a wonderful war between manufacturers, battling for a very demanding generation for high quality. We could see these ads mainly in mags.

I could identify all, but the second (from top to bottom) :scratch2:

Its a Rotel RX-1603, their biggest receiver:

I've always wondered about the total weight of that pile and how the case on the bottom did with the stress, having once owned an SX-1980. Figured they may have stacked them heaviest first with the lightest on top.

The second from top is not the Rotel (that's 2nd from bottom). Is the one in question an Hitachi SR-2004?

I have always been curious about the chap's seat hover- what's that about? Perhaps book lifts that were later feathered out so that he could comfortably have his arm over top of the stack? Strange.
