I’d actually never heard of this company until I came across a bunch of these old fliers. They are apparently still ‘in-the-game,’ albeit as dealers of new gear only. You can see their site here. Anyhow, I thought I would offer this scan as a (potentially) interesting look back at how pro audio gear valuation has changed over the years – because I, like many engineers, still use a lot of this same kit today. The fact that there is so much used gear in the flier makes it even more interesting. Also: you could still get a new EV 667 in 1980 ??? I would not have imagined…

I have an EV DL-42 cardiline I bought off the "Bay" really cheap. And in the station junk heap I found a pair of the CL-42 cardilines that were in need of severe cleaning

Boynton prices were always the outer limits of optimism for used gear. I guess some people paid the published prices, but my bet is that the high-ticket stuff always got negotiated down, or didn't get sold.
We were on their mailing list when I was a kid. I remember thinking, I can never deliver enough papers to build a studio in the basement! Then I discovered the 4-track cassette recorders, fixed up an old Ampex 4x2 mixer, borrowed some mics from school, and a studio was born.
