1962 - Auf dem Innenumschlag - ein Garrard Laufwerk Type A
Wir schreiben Anfang bis Mitte 1962 und da zählte dieser Garrard zu den Spitzenprodukten der englischen Laufwerks- manufakturen, auch in den USA. Das änderte sich schlagartig im August 1963 mit dem Dual 1009. Weiter hinten in diesem 1962er US Katalog finden Sie den Dual 1008, eine der alten "Plastikgurken" unter vielen Anderen.
Es ist der 1962er Katalog aus Herbst 1961
In den USA war es damals in fast allen Branchen üblich, einen Frühjahrs- und einen Herbst - Katalog heraus- zugeben. Dieser hier wurde aus den 1961er Herbst-Seiten eines Verlages übernommen. Anscheinend "gierte" der amerikanische Kunde nach immer dem allerneuesten Produkt, vor allem bei den Autos. Das ging so lange gut, bis die Autostadt Detroit und fast ganz Michigan eine Geisterstadt wurde, weil diese Art von Produkt- und Absatzwahn zum Erliegen kam.
1962 - Dann beginnt die Einführung mit dem Kleingedruckten der Firma AIREX RADIO Corp. in NY
Zuerst lobt man seine eigene Produktpalette mit den renommierten Namen der Hersteller, die AIREX vertritt.

Anmerkung :
Das war also 1962 schon eine ganz tolle Hifi-Anlage für 1200 Dollar. Beachten Sie, daß die drei Harman-Kardon Citation Geräte alles Bausätze (Kits) waren. Das mußte man selbst löten und schrauben. Nach dem Preisvergleich kommen dann drei weitere Positionen mit der Option "Wired". Das bedeutete damals = "fertig zusammen gebaut" und getestet. Alles in Allem ist das die feinste Hifi-Anlage dieser 13 Zusammenstellungen. Und 1962 war das wirklich High-End.
