How about a "Remember This?" forum AudioGon?

I had the wacky idea of seeing if the good folks at AudioGon could set up a forum where guys like me (who are literature pack-rats) could post scanned photos of old adds, lit. pics, etc. of vintage stereo gear.

Purusing through my old mid 70's Stereo Review and Audio mags got me reminiscing and I thought this might be kinda neat for some of us.

What do any of you think?

PS -- Remember the Pioneer HPM-200 loudspeaker system? This was the era that I first got "hooked" on Hi Fi and yes, I STILL have the original lit. for it!

Speaking of "remember this", it's too bad someone hasn't gathered together all of the old Lirpa product reviews from Audio magazine along with the audio related comics of Charles Rodriguez as found in Stereo Review. Some of these were really funny and subject appropriate. As a case in point, Rodriguez had one strip commenting on how "sane" a guy was after buying a 25 watt mono tube amp for $5500. Bare in mind that this was 1984 !!! Sean

Its a good idea, its amazing how many pieces come back to haunt you. It might be best for comedic purposes only, no need to relive things that have stood the test of time. There are some large auction sites which have those "lost in audio hell" pieces for sale all the time.

Sounds like a great idea. I have some old Playboy mags which ,I think, are kept for the vintage audio ads as much as they are for the women.
