Sources of Info on Vintage Rick Amps

In response to a new forumite's questions (see "Gray Tolex"), I tried to come up with sources of information regarding vintage (say, pre-Transonic) Rick amps.

Here's what I came up with:

--Rickenbacker.com: The "History" and "Gallery" tabs. History has pull-downs showing some old catalogs and Gallery has photos of a random sampling of amps, mostly from the 1950s.

--Original old Rick price lists and catalogs -- due to scarcity, not really publicly available; I happen to have a few from the 50s and 60s.

--A website devoted to Rick amps: http://jzu.free.fr/rick/amp/index.html Not complete by any means, but a start.

Is anyone aware of any other publicly available sources of information or literature on vintage Rick amps?

Ron, I think that you've got it covered. Someone needs to come out with the definitive Rickenbacker amplifier book. I, too, own a number of '50, 60s, and '70s Rickenbacker amps. Not enough is known about them.

You could add this topic for the B series amplifiers.
