"off duty" 1970 - 1997 - eine Freizeit-Zeitung für's US-Militär
Die in diesem amerikanischen (Freizeit-) Shopping-Magazin angepriesenen Hifi- und Video-Produkte waren auschließlich amerikanischen und kanadischen Militärangehörigen zugänglich - also zu kaufen - und vor allem zu ganz ungewöhnlich (verblüffend) niedrigen US $ Military-Preisen. Zu der einführenden "off duty" Seite geht es hier lang. - Um 1970 begann der weltweite Hifi-Boom bis zum 1. Crash 1978 und dann wieder zum 2.Crash um 1990. Über die 20 Jahre nach 2001 lesen Sie mehr in den Kolumnen auf diesen japanischen Seiten.

Die im Military-Markt angebotenen Magnetbandgeräte
In the SHOPPER, specifications given are for operation at 7/4 ips with normal tape unless otherwise noted. In addition, the machines are categorized as decks if they have no power amplifiers, and recorders if they have built-in poweramplifiers (and usually built-in speakers).
Are open-reel tape recorders fading out? Well, our SHOPPER is bigger this year than last, with more models, more options and features. The manufacturers continue to turn out new models as fast as ever with as much confidence as ever.
And the interest shown by audiophiles is still intense. Combine all this with the professional performance of the new machines and you may wonder who came up with the question in the first place.

Die vielen Seiten mit Spezifikationen und Texten sind automatisch eingescannt und OCR bearbeitet. Das Korrigieren der verhunzten Bandgeschwindigkeiten und Abmessungen macht keinen Sinn, es ist zuviel Arbeit.
