    I bought a New Sony CRF-330K 33-Band Shortwave Radio with Shortwave, Medium, Long Wave, Marine 2 FM Bands with Cassette Tape Player Recorder. I paid a lot to find a New One last September. Does anyone have the Original Dealer Brochures, Dealer Catalog’s, Dealer Flyers & the full line Brochures?
    This Radio was manufactured from 1978-1980. I looked since last August for them but no luck anyone know where to find them? Or have they all been Destroyed?

    That was easy. I probably downloaded the catalogue from here

    To answer the question about where they all went, I doubt whether many people could afford one new. Then in 1980 Sony released the ICF-2001
    https://www.radiomuseum.org/r/sony_icf_2001.html
    which was the start of a revolution in Short Wave Radios as big as the TPS-L2 was in cassette players.

    p.s. From this

    I learned something new

    I'm stealing that catalog for the 1st Walkman Tread!

    Ronald, I'll search google with something like "Sony CRF-33K .pdf" and see what comes up, who know you might get lucky. You can replace ".pdf" with other words like service manual, catalog, brochure and maybe an ebay sale will come up. These units are so rare that finding anything will be extremely difficult.

    Does anyone know if there is a website in Europe that I could Purchase Sony CRF-330K Catalogs, Brochures,
    Dealer Spec Sheets for this Model. I got all the ones I could locate in Japan coming. So is there a website in Europe that sells things like this?

    They have their own versions of ebay, for ebay Germany it's "ebay.de"

    There's some other sites but I haven't been on any for ages, shipping used to be reasonable now it's very expensive. If you use Google Translate and put the search terms in other languages, google will search over there.
