Field service of
electronic products like radios, televisions, and even tape recorders/players
and phonographs, was still a common thing in 1961 when this promotion appeared
in Radio-Electronics magazine. Those assemblies had a lot of parts,
most of which no two were the same. That is the nature of analog circuits
containing multiple stages of varying gains, frequencies, and voltage / current
/ power levels. Stocking and carrying a kit of replacement parts likely to be
exact replacements or suitable substitutes for factory parts was imperative for
efficient and profitable business. Many component companies were supplying kits
like this one featuring coils (inductors) for TV tuners from Standard Kollsman
Industries. Similar kits existed for resistors, capacitors, vacuum tubes,
transformers, dial lamps, switches, mechanical hardware, etc. For some reason
Sun Chemical, a manufacturer of commercial inks, decided to acquire Standard
Kollsman Industries in 1972. The $27.99
price for the kit in 1961 is
equivalent to $293.13 in 2024 money (a factor of 10.5x in 63 years; it was
just 8.6x in 2020 - massive inflation, 22%, in just 4 years).
