The price list is a nice find Frank, unfortunately I can't make out the figures. Is there any chance you could scan a higher resolution image or, if your typing's up to it, tell us what the prices were?
I'd be interested in how much the various mixers were and how much each part of the Concert System and the Unit System and the PA115 systems were.....
A clearer scan is probably the easy route

Interesting,the speaker prices,is that a pair i wonder,or each? PRO 150's it lists at £384,surely that must be a pair? Lot of money in 1979.

Possibly the prices are in Irish Punts not GBP - the label on the ad seems to suggest an Irish store with 20% VAT - UK VAT was only 12.5% in January 1979 (it was increased by then Chancellor Geoffrey Howe to 15% in June 79)

For sidefills, can we have two enormous things of a type that might be venerated as Gods by the inhabitants of Easter Island, capable of reaching volumes that would make Beelzebub soil his pants.

Think the exchange rate back then was pretty close, at best about 0.88 - 1.

Not sure Trevor,you might be right,it lists the S500d at £492,i paid
£450 for one around the same time (1979) from Soundwave in Romford,so
that seems about right. (At that time the RSD 800b was £570,and the
Amcron DC300a was a whopping £800).
Edit,thanks Joe,that would make sense then,so those figures are about 10% dearer than Pounds Sterling. Edited by jbl_man - 22 October 2013 at 11:42am |

It's interesting that the top of the range concert units were just under 200 - presumably, being the holy grail top of the range, this was a per cabinet price, to encourage building multi cab stacks, and the mid range/popular Pro series were per pair? |
