The "line " was born in Boston. long famous for Yankee
ingenuity -and thrift. lts original intent was to bridge
a gap between S 100 equipment and $25 equipment
where, at the time, there was a real void in hi-fi mer-

preamp/amplifier. a $79.95 speaker, Soon we found
ourselves a unique niche as manufacturing retailers.

in the Electrostat-ZA speaker - was called a best buy "
by the count/ye leading productJei/iew magazine. Our
70TRF radio out-performed practically anything then
available And dealers from all over the world began
requesting a Realistic franchise.

cost police band radio - the Realistic Patrolman; the

combined massive power, modern styling. and a veritable
host of new ideas *3! a cost fully $700 $200 below
