A friend sent me a link to this site, so, naturally, I had to look for CED ads.

This link will take you to the 1982 catalog. The CED ad is on page 2.

Enjoy! Very Happy

Nice site!

The 1984-1987 catalogs were required reading when I was a kid. I was amazed though not surprised to find that as I flipped through each virtual page I knew what was coming next.

Here's hoping that Rat Shack understands the value of this site and doesn't force him to tear it down - or, even better, gives him access to missing catalogs, pays him for his work, and incorporates it into their site.

oh my god. on page 5 the stereo speakers on the right hand side bottom of the page. I just sold a pair of those. I got 200 for them. I had to replace the woofer surrounds. when I bought them I thought it was 1 woofer and a passive reflector., but it really had dual woofers per speaker. boy do they sound great. but I needed some of my room back.

they sell them for 259.95 each speaker on page 24. gee

I swore by my Realistic Nova 7 speakers for the longest time. Unfortunately I stored them in a barn and the foam went kerplooey - I think my father kept them, he had a pair too, though I'm not sure about that.

They weren't "audiophile", but they had a nice chunky sound that suited me just fine.

Were many stereo adapters ever made for that player? I've never seen any in person, twice I've seen them on Ebay but they were sold as part of a large package which I couldn't afford at the time. Toshiba players have a jack for a stereo adapter too but I've never seen one for them.

I have a Hitachi stereo adapter that works on the Radio Shack and the Sears player. I also have two Toshiba stereo adapters that also work on the Wards and Elmo players. The Hitachi adapter draws its power from the player where as the Toshiba has a 110 plug. The Hitachi has a noise reduction switch thats labeled main, stereo, sub while the Toshiba has three switches labeled stereo, CH A and CH B.
