I love browsing the old RS catalogs. My dad still rocks out with this 1972 Nova 8's.

As a kid in the late 70's I used to love getting the new Rat Shak catalog each year. I liked the Sears catalog too but for very different reasons.  :)

Allied Radio Corporation.  These catalogs are a blast to read if you are into vintage stuff.  Attached are some samples.  I will bring one to the meeting next Saturday if I remember.

FYI,  they also had a line of industrial electronics catalogs - those are not my thing though I have a few of those too.

When I go to the car cruises in my 64 Bonneville I have a 1960s Lafayette catalog I leave on the back seat just for show, it usually gets a few comments...
