    1973, the $1 USD off coupons would have been huge!

    1978 HiFi Stereo Buyers Guide, these were big money in 1978, $4.79 is a whopping $24.83 today! We always had specials in the USA, maybe 20% off but these were still very expensive.

    These were huge when they came out, this is the first test I've seen from HiFi Stereo Buyer's Guide 1978. Adjusted for inflation it would be $113.99 USD today! It looks like these actually work, The "HD-01 works exceptionally well." I think I have a later version of this, with the cool clear case so you can see the electronics and I also have one from Geneva, they bought out Nortronics and kept the company going with audio accessories. Mine is dated 1986 and was $11.99 purchased from Best Buy.

    1983 Funktechnik, I'll have to translate this one, it looks like an interesting article on Azimuth.

    1972 HiFi Stereo Review, I wonder how these performed, they didn't seem to last long on the market.
