Original BBX Ads/Catalogs with prices

tburick - 2008-12-17 15:44

Wondering if we have a collection of links in any of the old posts regarding original catalogs or ads with bbx prices.

I found a post about the original Radio Shack catalogs from the 80's and almost fell off my chair. What a time capsule...wonderful memories. I did a little searching and found wishbookweb.com -- they have a few catalogs from Sears and Wards with 80's bbx's in them. I was looking for J&R Music World catalogs from the 80's but came up empty.

What other catalogs from the 80's would have BBX's in them? Does anybody have links??
Thanks,
Tom

Thanks for the info about the Wish Book website, tburick. I'm downloading some of the catalogs now. Big Grin

Don't know how difficult this would be to set up or even if it's possible but...

Could we have a link on this site that would be a permanent repository for ads and catalogs? I don't know about all of you, but it is a HUGE thrill for me to look at these.
"Permanent" meaning that the images would not be linked to another site b/c often times I find an old thread and the pics are gone.
Thoughts??
