Motorola Brochures for old radios

Post by Wicho »

Mods, I couldn't decide whether to list this in BST or here - please move if appropriate. If you'd like a scan of them for "archival" purposes for the board's benefit, let me know.

I'm cleaning out the garage and found some of the old full color brochures for:

HT50
Syntor X9000E
Syntor X9000
Radius P10
Radius P200
HT600 Series "Handie-Talkie" Synthesized FM Portable Radio (Yeah, I just had to write it all out!)
Radius M100, 206, 214
Privacy Plus 1000X Mobilephone
Radius P100

If anyone is interested in a copy of them, I can scan them and email. Kind of a trip down memory lane. Some of these are the brochures with the three holes punched on the left. How times have changed.

If anyone wants them, send me a PM with your name and address and I'll drop them in the mail on Monday. I only have one of each. Otherwise, they're going in the trash.

They have now been spoken for. As I am mailing them out on Monday morning, if anyone wants a scan you'd better jump on it and let me know. My scanner clocks out at 7pm Pacific Time on Sundays. (Translation, that's when I open a bottle of wine with my wife) 8)

Hey guys,

The originals are going to rrfd43.

Since many of you have asked for scanned copies, I am going to do high-rez scans at work tomorrow morning before mailing the originals off. I can get much better quality at the office than here at home.

Everyone that has asked for scanned compies will have them emailed tomorrow. If the scans exceed 10MB, I will send them in multiple emails to you.

Never thought there would be this much interest in them!

Okay - emailing these out to everyone is going to take a bit of time, because...

The scans total 166 Megs. Ouch! But they look great!

If anyone knows of a faster way, like somewhere I can upload everything...

Another thing I can do is mail out a CD with the scans to everyone.

You could upload it in it's entirety as a zipped package to rapidshare or filebucket, then just provide the link. We could all get them then.

Is there a limit to folder size? I think he said the total was about 170mb and the average was 13mb each.

I'm already uploading them to rapidshare, one ziped folder per brochure. I'm thinking that way everyone can download only what interests them.

I tell you, watching the progress bar is like watching the grass grow.

All of the original brochures are already gone, but you can download a copy of them at the links found in the thread.

Enjoy!

Got em in last week. They are really cool. Some of my favorite radios. I owned em all too! Gonna put them up in a frame in my office. Heck, if they can have cool pictures of fire stuff, I'll geek-till-it-megahertz and put up a few radios!

I also have several of its younger cousin: the CoveragePLUS Maxtrac.
