Wow, those scans take me back. I loved the catalogs from mail order hi fi dealers back in the '70s. My favorite was from Warehouse Sound in exotic - sounding (to a college student in Virgina anyway) San Luis Obispo, California. The catalog featured pictures of happy, beautiful SoCal college girls in halter tops who seemed to be completely thrilled to be posing with nerdy looking guys and their Warehouse Sound stereo systems. The system descriptions invariably talked about how great the systems sounded at parties; the not - so - subliminal message was "buy this Pioneer - Dual - Electrovoice rig and you'll be hooking up with hot hippie chicks before you can drop a needle on Best of Bread!" I read and reread the Warehouse Sound catalogs until they fell apart.
Which catalog are your scans from?
