I just got back from Portland, Oregon's City of Roses Guitar Show and came across a booth with some neat old Ric parts and memorabilia so I took some pictures that I thought some of you would enjoy.

The first photo shows an original 50's postcard from "Radio & Television Equipment Co. @ 2118 S. Main St. Santa Ana introducing their Model 425, also shown is a 1956 Magnatone guitar made by Electro String (Rickenbacker?), In the strings is an original, unused 25th anniversary decal.

The next is a better full shot of this 1956 Magnatone Guitar with that cool body style!!

Then there was this shot of the '56 Magnatone with a photo from what appears to be a 50's (1956?) Guitar Show photo of the 25th Anniversary Rickenbacker booth complete with model!

All this stuff was for sale for what I considered reasonable! Hope I'm able to post these pictures correctly! Enjoy!

Any idea who had the booth and if the person has a shop or website?
