| No, it's not
a circuit board. It is Rick's Triple Stack Pioneer Silver-face Audio
gear. This business was started as a result of Rick's personal passion
for vintage audio gear and a desire to help others with their collectible
gear. |

We don't
know if we are accomplishing our goal or not, but the intent of
the site design is to be like a friend sharing with a friend. It
is NOT setup to be a cold, impersonal "strictly business" place
to buy something.
We hope a good number of you will enjoy
the decidedly different "flavor" of our site when you stop by. And
for those who don't... well, we hope you will overlook our not meeting
your expectations cause all we know how to do is be who we are.
It was our intent and remains our desire to build this site
into a very large and valuable resource for fans of classic audio
gear. We haven't been around long enough to make all of our plans
a reality "yet"... but it will happen. It is a huge undertaking
but we trust that "If you build it, they will come".
The
amount of work involved has been much greater than we anticipated
or were prepared for... plus, we have experienced many setbacks
and major delays that were completely unexpected and out of our
control. Why is it that life sometimes just does not cooperate
with our plans? See
Current Announcements)
and other pages in the About Us section
for further information.
After what seems like forever, our
Manuals For Sale section is still not done with full and complete
lists of all manuals and prices. But little by little, it is getting
done. Please feel free to use the Contact
Us link to send us your comments (just ignore the instructions
there if not asking about manuals).

We began selling
a few manuals on eBay 2001 and had good success through 2002 with
a growing selection. In 2003 we acquired 3 tons of original manuals
and that caused almost everything about our family's life to change.
We stopped selling on eBay and began trying to catalog/describe/price
them and get that information on our site. Elderly parent problems
(the worst kind) and other situations hindered progress through
2006. To add to the load... we also acquired an additional 50,000
+/- items during that time.
Time was "finally" being available
in early 2007 to begin getting our "real lists" of manuals on site
and make other changes. We made numerous site navigation changes
and began posting updated manuals catalogs for various companies.
Just after getting a good start, elderly parent problems arose again.
That and other unexpected family projects stopped the project once
again and consumed our entire summer. Most of that has subsided
for now and we are back at it. Much more of the site has been totally
replaced.
We have printed manuals for around 125,000+/-
models and PDF manuals for around a quarter million models. Additionally, we have an
Spare Factory Original Manuals Catalog
with spare factory original manuals for about 6000 models. If you
do not see what you want, use the Contact Us link in the top menu
and let us know. |
