Found it while going through my papers. Just thought you'd get a kick out of it.

Very cool.

Nicely scanned image, BTW.

Thanks!

Damn, I just realized, that's 30 years old!

Yep... 1974 was a very, very good year for this then-teenager. I try to keep remembering my perspective on life at that point as I advise, correct and admonish my 17 year old son who is a drummer!!!

There is a mistake on that brochure!

The 2nd page, top right hand corner, shows the Benge models. At the end of the list it says 'All bells are 4 3/4" diameter.'

This is NOT true! The bell on my Benge mlp 2C is considerably larger than my ml 5X (Bb).
