"off duty" 1970 - 1997 - eine Freizeit-Zeitung für's US-Militär
Die in diesem amerikanischen (Freizeit-) Shopping-Magazin angepriesenen Hifi- und Video-Produkte waren auschließlich amerikanischen und kanadischen Militärangehörigen zugänglich - also zu kaufen - und vor allem zu ganz ungewöhnlich (verblüffend) niedrigen US $ Military-Preisen. Zu der einführenden "off duty" Seite geht es hier lang. - Um 1970 begann der weltweite Hifi-Boom bis zum 1. Crash 1978 und dann wieder zum 2.Crash um 1990. Über die 20 Jahre nach 2001 lesen Sie mehr auf dieser japanischen Seite.

Eine Auflistung der US-Exchange military Preise (aufsteigend)
Diese Militär-Preise waren selbst in 1985 noch irre (niedrig), weil der Dollar gegenüber der DM und dem yen so kräftig gesunken war. Die Japaner mussten wirklich überall "die Hosen runter lassen", sonst hätten sie in diesem Military Markt - wie auch auf dem US-Inlandsmarkt - gar nichts mehr verkauft.
.
In dieser Liste sieht man nochmal die ausgeuferte Produktvielfalt, die ein normaler US-Soldat gar nicht mehr beurteilen oder abschätzen konnte, wir Deutschen übrigens schon lange nicht mehr. Selbst die Hifi-Händler bei uns bzw. die "Audio-Berater" (=Verkäufer) in den Audio-Clubs waren völlig überfordert und durften und sollten nur noch die Produkte ihres Herstellers anpreisen.

CASSETTE AND OPEN REEL DECKS BY PRICE (1985)
To help you in your shopping, here's a listing of all the items in this month's Shopper arranged in ascending order by price.
(Product and price information are given only as guides. They are not binding on any manufacturer, distributor, Exchange or other retailer. Descriptions and prices herein are not intended as advertising nor as an endorsement of any particular products.)
Items available through the Exchange Mail Order Catalog (indicated by a "B" code) are listed with published catalog prices. Store prices, which include freight, etc. are normally slightly higher.

*)Personnel stationed in Europe may order from all sections of the Catalog. However, prices for foreign name-brand items in the "America Part One" section, which already include U.S. Customs duties, generally do not represent as great a saving as prices for similar foreign-made items in the overseas sections of the Catalog.
