Default Interesting German Hi-Fi & A/V Brochure archive

Found this interesting website which has German language brochures for all different makes of mostly Hi-Fi equipment, but there's some old radio and TV/VCR stuff in there as well. I don't know if the link has been posted before, but I am sure it will be new to a lot of us.

PS: Found the ITT range quite fascinating, as we had an ITT Hi-Fi system for many years. We had the ITT 8011 direct drive turntable, 8022 tape deck, and the 8032 receiver. Couldn't find the speakers on there, but they looked a bit like the A1-130 but had separate Bass/ Treble crossover controls at the top, under a removable strip that was held on with Velcro. I think the drivers were Toshiba Aurex.

Thanks for that John,

I had a look on there and found a downloadable manual for the Akai 630D reel to reel deck. I wanted that,Very handy. And it was in English.
I still need a head cover for that recorder though..

Also some info on Brenell recorders in English. Downloadable.
Well worth a look.
Regards Peter W.........Reelguy.

PS. How come I haven't come across that site before ?.

Thanks, really quite nostalgic. There is a brochure there for Nordmende 1970, the last page shows that 26" colour TV with the three 9" B/W screens beneath :

Saw one in Harrods in 1973, never did work out why anyone needed a telly with four screens .

No worse than the late 1980s must-have feature... Picture-In-Picture. I presume it was so that channel-hopping types could watch one programme safe in the knowledge that there was nothing better being shown on the other sides

Thanks for a great link, John. But seems to be plagued with unsavoury advertising pop-ups for me, in spite of my OS being fully up-to-date etc.

Yes I was just about to warn about them, I hope they don't cause any long-term problems (adware etc). I run Firefox, but I know that IE is more susceptible to these sort of things.
Anyway glad the info is coming in handy for many of you. I'll have a look through my bookmarks to see if I have any other sites that might of interest

If you add the following two URLs to your "Restricted Sites" list in Internet Explorer then everything seems to work fine without all the nasty Pop-Up type stuff. There may be some other URLs to add in there, but these 2 seem to stop most of the Pop-Ups.

http://*.pytalhost.com
http://*.te.funpic.de

To get to the place where you type the site names in, click:
Tools > Internet Options > Security > (Click Restricted Sites Icon) > Sites

Hope that helps.

From Mike.

I saw a similar set too at Harrods in 1979. At least they didn't have to deal with dual std operation!

Working on these sets must've been an experience! I take it they were hybrid? Were the B&W displays solid state? This would make a very interesting thread indeed!
