NYAL booklet- Any value


I have a 118 page booklet called "Understanding Tube Electronics"--- A Study In: Natural Harmonics Audio, written by Harvey Rosenburg Of New York Audio Labs in 1984, apparently just after Julius Futterman passed on his rights and patents to his OTL designs. I was wondering if this would be of any value to a tube afficianado or NYAL collecter.

I'm sure it would be. I did a short search on Google and found zip re value.
Harvey was a legend.
Lots of stuff like this goes on Ebay all the time.
I have no idea what a market value price is.
How much do you want for it?
Email me with a price and/or put it on ebay.

Cheers

Clueless, I paid $5.00 in 1984 directly from NYAL. I personally talked to Harvey on that day and he was in a hurry to go on some Harley motorcycle outing. We talked briefly about George Kaye's "new" Moscode designs. I never did buy any NYAL stuff as it was out of my price range. This booklet, though, has some interesting philosophy by Harvey and is loaded with pictures of some of Julius Futterman's early amps. The reason I was curious of the booklet's worth is because I was cleaning out my closet and decided to sell a slew of Stereophile and Absolute magazines that date from 1983-1992. I am currently putting together a list to advertise them and then I found this NYAL catalog. I remain, Sherod
Sherod: While the value of this is probably next to nothing, i'd like to read that just for kicks. Being the "good & kind soul" that i am, i'd be willing to double your investment and pay for proper packaging and shipping. Your Friend, Sean : )
Sean, I believe that NYAL is no longer. Am I right? If that is the case, then there is no longer a copyright infringement, so perhaps I could make good photocopies of it and send it to all those interested. You are probably right that it is has no value, if not sentimental. It is interesting reading though, a must for not just tube-aholics, but for all audiophiles. Harvey was the "ultimate" tube nut. His passion for tubes goes deep into his soul. Just reading some of his philosophies is almost a religious experience.If there was a way to get copies of this to everyone, I'd do it. I'm not out to make any money on it. Every red-blooded audiophile should read this booklet once just for the experience. Harvey had a respect and love for Julius Futterman that was very deep and strong.Obviously Mr. Futterman was very aware of that as it was Harvey who got Julius' patents and rights to his designs.Also in this booklet there are reprints of reviews from IAR,etc.on certain classics like the Futterman H3AA and OTL-3 amps.
Hi Clueless. It's interesting that you mentioned that this stuff was advertised on Ebay. I just typed in Harvey Rosenberg and what do you know, this same booklet along with two others are up for bid together. There is a little over a day left of bidding. So far the high bid is at $27.00.
