Blast from the past. I loved the catalogs as well and went down to the showroom in Canoga Park occasionally. Was near the Fry’s that I’d go to a decade later.
Lots of cool things, stereo and computers, but you’d not know what. Like Radio Shack and Trader Joe’s had a baby.
One of my favorite purchases was a huge 18” subwoofer cabinet with its own amp and… centimeter thick copper/gold tipped speaker cables! (Way before audiophile nonsense, they were cheap!)
Thing pounded the house down in the days of music from the TR-808.
A dozen or so years later got tired of moving it and put it on Craigslist, only one pair with a truck showed up and I was highly motivated to give it away for free. “Can always use for firewood if you don’t like it, “ I said.
Just realized I still have the cables, forgot where they came from until now. :-D
