Who Collects Logo Merchandise

[Scorpion8]

Besides collecting NOS tapes, good used blanks to re-use, decent tape decks, assorted acoutrements, head cleaning and demagnetizing stuff, Walkmans, ........ endless list, I also have bene collecting the old nylon tape storage soft cases that had tape makers logos on them. TDK, Maxell, Denon... each one holds 10 - 15 tapes and makes storage of the tapes easier. Plus the logos herald a day when tape ruled. I've even got one of those Nak key-fobs on the way.

No pics because I'm at work. Shhhhhh....

Anyone else collect logo gear for their monuments to tape and analog sound reproduction?

Anything I can get my grubby hands on! I'm getting the Nak key ring too! I just missed out on a Maxell XL-II belt buckle, looked just like the tape. Of course I collect all kinds of Craig stereo stuff among many many others. Any off-the-wall Tony Stewart leads are always welcome....*Hi5**devil* too!

Craig,
My first venture into major audio was a Craig system. A friends's girlfriend worked for them and I got all the TOTL receiver, TT, speakers when it first came out. 55 wpc mosfet receiver. Uses an Alps vol. pot.. Came to less than $250 IIRC and included an AT cartridge they tested on the TT. Shame I didn't get any of there ad material.

Anything with SAE on it, especially the stereo units themselves *drool**devil*

especially this Bad Boy! There's a warning on the back to use caution when making connections, it could be hazardous to your health!! and it's SS. *eyepop*

I have two giveaways from the 80's by the Salem cigarette company. They are external Walkman speakers. They are yellow plastic and are the shape of a cassette tape. They fit in a regular cassette tape box. They have a metal grill with the green Salem logo on them. They sound like crap but are cool to have anyway!

I have a few things around someplace. Here is a belt buckle.

Ah, the belt buckles. I have quite a few classic ones squirreled away. I'll have to drag them out for pictures, including Remington Arms, Peterbilt Trucks, and commemorative buckles.
