Just ran across this fairly recent article on consoles.

Lots of fun ads supplied.

And lots on reminders of the inflated amplifier power claims that were common back then.

Thanks, Mr. Mogul, that was a fun trip down memory lane. So many companies back then and so many cabinet styles to pick from. There was a cabinet style and price range for everyone.

Great article. That last '74 Magnavox ad was a sad ending, seeing those bric a brac small consoles.
