Scored these at a thrift store today. Ranges from 1976 til 1984. Seems like the golden age of Hi-Fi?

i'd say the golden age ended around 92

like most engineer based technology business - design was obsolesed by accountancy

and since then - lifestyle marketing has eclipsed necessity

like the motor industry

Magazines full of Treasures.

Any chance to see the insides?

The youth of today will never know the joy of making a mix tape.

I pity them.

Brilliant stuff. Those were the day`s.

Instead they pity on us for not knowing how to tap the touch screen properly!!

 you got that right   

It`s odd to think. In years to come, the youth of today, will be saying to their kids "you what, you can`t download onto an ipod". Cassettes will be on antiques roadshow.

Great scans, thanks for sharing Sitman

great scans they bring back memories 

How about a specific S2G flicker or Photobucket account? It's free to set up and others could contribute. This could work well as lots a bandwidth heavy scans or high quality JPEGS being uploaded together may be better suited to being hosted on a purpose built site

Why don't we keep the files within s2g itself. Anywhere else, we will find that after some time they become orphaned.

I just uploaded a 32 page catalog of Sanyo's 87/88 lineup on another thread. It was scanned by member mnt into 100MB+ in high quality jpgs. 

http://REPLACEMENT ERROR/topic/sanyo-8788

I could convert that into a single .pdf file of 6MB, of decent quality. I can reduce the size even further (at the cost of quality). Such files can be posted in the message thread itself.

If a sticky thread with a dedicated Topic can be made, magazine/brochure/manuals scans could be posted at one place. 

I can volunteer to convert .jpgs into a single .pdf file and upload.

In the absence of a scanner, a photo is the best option indeed. If you can manage to fix the camera on a tripod or so and can keep the magazine at a fixed location for shooting, you would be able to attain almost scanned page quality! 

If you can email the photos, I can volunteer to convert the pictures into a smaller file and upload it.

Before taking pictures, try to find out an optimum resolution for a readable picture, but of small file size, in the camera settings. There is no need to shoot every picture in 10 or 12 Megapixel resolution!! I observe that, if you can read a picture at 100% zoom size on screen comfortably, that resolution is sufficient to share the information.

What`s that, on the right hand side of the september issue. Is it a lasedisc player?

Cool Stuff Man

Very cool indeed MrKeith! Here's the ad I was talking about, had to show you guys before i run off to work lol.

Hi all,

Just ran across this thread. Sitman, I'd love to see a scan of the review for the Nakamichi 630. I have two of these units.

Thanks!

Wow! You posted the whole PDF in another thread. That's so amazing. Thank you!!!
