Hi Guys,
Leafing through that catalogue was great. Some of the crystals and whatnot I
actually have here.
I remember going to Allied Electronics on Western Ave. in Chicago with my
uncle and a ham friend of his back in the
mid 60's. When I walked in the door I was blown away with all the ham gear
they had on display.
Rows and rows of Hammarlund, Hallicrafters, Drake, Collins, Johnson, Etc.
Etc. It was unbelievable and I never seen anything like it
again.
As they say, "those were the days"

Deer in the headlights look is the first thing that comes to mind.
I went in the other day looking for their 1:1 miniature xfrmrs. I got a
horrified look and thus the clerk ran right to the computer to figure out
what it was I wanted. He said to me "I didn't know we carried those. What
are they for?"
I remember (back in the day) going into one of their stores and asking for
something like a 12ax7, 10uF/450VDC electrolytic and a 50K Rheostat and
the clerk would return in seconds with what I wanted and he didn't have to
think or ask anyone where or what they were. Plus, if he didn't have the
tube, he could tell me off the top of his head what if any replacement was
available.
SIGH... I feel old :-)
73, cul...

Most likely you would receive a blank stare and they would try to sell
you a cell phone!
