1974 TAPE Recording & Buying GUIDE = ein Verkaufsmagazin
Die Amerikaner hatten immer ein Händchen ffür eine Goldgrube. Und so sprossen aus allen Ecken die Produktübersichten aus den Verlagen, versteckten sich unter dem Deckmantel einer USA-weiten wertneutralen Marktübersicht und waren doch nichts weiter als Anzeigenblätter. Um die Inserenten zu ködern, wurden durchaus seriöse und kompetente Artikel an den Anfang gestellt. Am Ende wichtig waren die Listen mit den Preisen und den minmalen Eigenschaften. Hier geht es zu der einführenden Seite dieser 1974er Übersicht.

OPEN-REEL TAPE MACHINES (1973/1974)
Das sind die aufgelisteten Bandmaschinen, deren Hersteller oder Importeure sich einen Eintrag (oder auch mehrere zusammen mit einer Produktanzeige) in dieser 1974er US-Marktübersicht "gekauft" !!! haben. Diese angeblich allumfassende Liste ist mitnichten vollständig, denn man mußte dafür bezahlen. Es geht hauptsächlich um die US- amerikanischen Straßenpreise. Viele Hersteller fehlen aber.
Ganz anders war es anfänglich mit dem Military Magazin Off Duty, deren Chefredakteur - der Amerikaner Walter Rios - ein Hifi- Fan war und der (in den ersten Ausgaben von oof duty) alle kaufbaren Hifi-Produkte akribisch gesammelt hatte.
