Googling for something somewhat related I found there are scanned and searchable copies of old Billboard issues from the 70s and 80s on Google books. 

For example this great issue from 1976: 

There's a lot of <span style="line-height: 16.8px;">disco</span><span style="line-height: 1.4;"> talk, both the music and the venues. A disco column by Tom Moulton, an article about the "Burgeoning Hardware Field" of disco equipment, a lot of ads for said equipment and also an article on "Jumbo Sized Singles". Big smile</span>

Oh yeah, there's also a statement from Roger Squire regarding the state of the disco equipment industry. Thumbs Up

Thanks James. I've also fixed the link in my first post. Somehow the forum added an extra http to the link.
