Here's a question/challenge for John Hall and the Ric Outlet. If you go on to eBay USA right now and search in Musical Instruments for 'rickenbacker < $50', you will find lots of old magazine adverts for Ric guitars, basses & amps, selling for somewhere between $10 and $25 a pop. On the assumption that the Ric Corporation owns the copyright to these advertisements, would it not be better to make them available to the worldwide family of Rickenbacker owners (like myself) through the Ric Outlet or via the RRF? The advertisements chart the history of Rickenbacker and its products. I would much prefer to be able to access them in high-quality reproduction posters, or a Ric calendar, or best of all in a quality book publication, rather than flimsy pages torn out of old used music magazines? I'm no expert in marketing, but I know for sure that I would be a customer. Just a thought.
I would certainly buy something like this. I'd love a published collection of the old literature, especially all the old catalogs.
