NYAL booklet- Any value

To whom it may concern: I have just listed the original Harvey Rosenberg booklet in an Ebay auction.

For you "Gizmo" fans, here's an interesting website you might find interesting: www.meta-gizmo.com

Clueless, I paid $5.00 in 1984 directly from NYAL. I personally talked to Harvey on that day and he was in a hurry to go on some Harley motorcycle outing. We talked briefly about George Kaye's "new" Moscode designs. I never did buy any NYAL stuff as it was out of my price range. This booklet, though, has some interesting philosophy by Harvey and is loaded with pictures of some of Julius Futterman's early amps. The reason I was curious of the booklet's worth is because I was cleaning out my closet and decided to sell a slew of Stereophile and Absolute magazines that date from 1983-1992. I am currently putting together a list to advertise them and then I found this NYAL catalog. I remain, Sherod

Sean, I believe that NYAL is no longer. Am I right? If that is the case, then there is no longer a copyright infringement, so perhaps I could make good photocopies of it and send it to all those interested. You are probably right that it is has no value, if not sentimental. It is interesting reading though, a must for not just tube-aholics, but for all audiophiles. Harvey was the "ultimate" tube nut. His passion for tubes goes deep into his soul. Just reading some of his philosophies is almost a religious experience.If there was a way to get copies of this to everyone, I'd do it. I'm not out to make any money on it. Every red-blooded audiophile should read this booklet once just for the experience. Harvey had a respect and love for Julius Futterman that was very deep and strong.Obviously Mr. Futterman was very aware of that as it was Harvey who got Julius' patents and rights to his designs.Also in this booklet there are reprints of reviews from IAR,etc.on certain classics like the Futterman H3AA and OTL-3 amps.

Hi Clueless. It's interesting that you mentioned that this stuff was advertised on Ebay. I just typed in Harvey Rosenberg and what do you know, this same booklet along with two others are up for bid together. There is a little over a day left of bidding. So far the high bid is at $27.00.

I saw that Ebay auction, Clueless. Hmmmm,oh,well, if I were greedy... Does anyone want a copy before I auction off the original?

Clueless and Sean. Since you were the only ones to show any interest, I will send you both copies at no charge. Please E-mail me your addresses.I am going to get some photocopies made later this week.This offer is good until tomorrow as I am only going to make a few copies and auction the original off on Ebay.

Clueless,it is interesting reading, isn't it? I wonder if Sean got his copy?

I know, I know. All great minds use their real name. I was frustrated late one night when I initially registered on Ebay and someone else already had used Sherod, so Dorkbrains came to mind. I'm glad you are enjoyin the booklets. I paid someone at Kinko's to put it together for me. Have a great week. I remain, Dorkbrains

Sean, yes it is pretty amazing how quickly the mail can get to other parts of the world from Texas, especially since we stopped using Pony Express, ha,ha. I was being sarcastic.

Sean, I received the "Greasy Spoon" donation. You are too kind. Thanks and enjoy the reading. As our beloved Clueless would say, I remain...
