Old reading material

I got out all of my equipment so I could take pics and post it in the "stash" thread, upon doing so I also found some old PG pamphlets and some old car audio magazines. One of them features the reactor and has it on the cover.

Start scanning. I want to see the QX/SX brochures. Most of those mags of PG reviews I have already scanned and posted. See what you have that I do not and post those too, PLEASE.

Man do I miss having the trade mags around

CarSound was probably my favorite.

If I had a scanner, I'd scan it now for you. I'll look into getting one.

I have some oldschool mags to, il try and get a scanner going today

I guess it worked

...not trying to jack your thread, i started one about a year ago on here somewhere and never got around figuring out the scanner...

Should i post more stuff in this thread or dig my old one out?

And what would be the best way to post stuff? pdf or jpeg? can upload bigger images in pdf

I miss the good ol days of so many car audio mags to choose from.
I used to love the Carsound one.

PDF is the way to go, by far the best way to share a document. Get Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and you'll even be able to control compression rate and much more. PM me if you want it, i can upload to RS

I must admit I used to spend a fortune on all sorts of mags. Mostly about cars, car audio and home hifi. I must be responsible for a few trees cut down all by myself

I gave up buying them years ago as the cover prices started getting silly and I spent more time online.

So from what your saying I guess car audio mags are a thing of the past then?

These are just my CA&E issues,

These are a mix of the others, Car Sound, CSR, Road & Gear, PAS and AS&S.

All in all, I counted just over 240 issues.

240 x 50 pages each... start the scanning to pdf

I had a xerox paper box full of CA&E mags I sold on soundbuggy for $100 I wish I still had them but at the time $100 was needed more than a box of magazines in storage.

I'm completely envious of that collection!

I'll see if I still have a pic of the magsI sold. Maybe this afternoon.

The '94 - '99 issues are about 100+ pages, then down to ~85 in '00 to their last issue (at least for CA&E). I'd say an avg of 100 pgs per is a good est.

I went through them all and scanned every review in them that was PG related.

I still re-read them from time to time, at least 1 issue every two weeks or so.
