Jason - This is extremely generous of you to post something you purchased. Not that I wouldn't equally do this, but thank you from me and anyone else who is looking at this thread. It's a fun brochure and brings back some memories of the many stereo places that existed at one time or department stores that had an array of different brands of stereos.
Just some comments - did you notice how this brochure, as many others I've seen in the 60's as well, are pitching these consoles more as furniture and tend to focus on the STYLE and always a name for the model. What about some details about the TT, am/fm/ amp/speakers on that same page? Similar story:
I have a 1960/61(not sure which year yet) Stromberg-Carlson that I was lucky to find on CL. The brochure for the Stromberg-Carlson 1960-61 is online - don't have the link handy -but below is mine. Notice they emphasize style and you don't ever see the components which happen to be very high end. There are pages devoted to the components but they precede these models and styles(Provincial, Italian, Contemporary, etc....the list goes on) and it makes it harder to visualize what goes with what(no complaints, just noting).
Zenith made some of the best stereos and tv's(my dad bought this brand most often).
Thank you again, Jason - this brochure is awesome; wasn't expecting to get such a nice reply and so many pages. Take care.
