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 125,000+/- printed and PDF audio-related items in our
Reproduction Manuals Catalog
(which we are working on). 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. |
