A Look Back At The 1966 Sony High Fidelity Components Color Catalog

listen69

Here’s the cover art from a 1966 Sony Stereo High Fidelity Components color catalog, which shows quiet time around a STR-6050 receiver playing music, a PS-1800 record player and unseen loudspeakers. The catalog featured information about their range of home audio products at the time, which included their TTS-3000A turntable, PUA-237 and PUA-286 tonearms, TA-1120A integrated amplifier, ST-5000F stereo tuner, STR-6120 / STR-6060 / STR-6050 / STR-6040 stereo receivers, PS-1800 turntable system, TA-3400 electronic crossover, SS-3100 & SS-2800 speaker systems, and the TAH-10 headphone adapter. I was able to dig up more images (click to enlarge) of this ancient catalog – the times sure have changed with marketing:

    I love old catalogues. I've been saving mine from the last few years.

    I have this catalog.  It is classy and informative.  I’m pretty sure I picked it up in 1970, when I bought my str-6050 receiver.  I thought that receiver (which I still have) was introduced in 1969 or 1968.  I can’t put my hands on the catalog right now, but I’m pretty sure it is newer than 1966.
