1974 Merc Hi Perf Catalog

[Mark75H]

I can't get the server to be agreeable with me for the Galleries so here it is now: Cover

Note: Don't complain about the file size these are about as small as can be used for printouts: these are larger than they might need to be for viewing on a good monitor, but with the descreening to improve the image portions they are about as small as you can make a good printout with and still read the text. I used as much jpg compression as possible without loosing resolution.

You could cut and scan the text without descreening it to decrease the file size......but that would be a day's work.

Hey Sam, Excellent job with the Catalog. Do you have the 75,77or78 year? I know it is a pain scanning this stuff, but in my opinion it preserves the original info and is well worth every effort.

Now, don't throw anything at me, but you did know Mark had the 74 Catalog on his site already, didn't you? :):)

[Mark75H]

yes, I knew he had them up too, plus the alternate page showing the 650x and not the T2.....must have been later in the year. Your link doesn't work to the PDF and the link on the site to the inside pages isn't working either.

My files are about 30% smaller than his and I worked the yellow out of the images.


I have a few more, but mostly the same years we've seen. I would like to get the 73 from someone.....anybody out there have it?

[Flat Out]

Can I get 2 of each motor on the last page at those prices ?





Yea sure

[Mark75H]

If you are willing to settle for used, probably yes.

The collector's market for big racing engines is not near as competitive as it is for small racing engines.

If you are serious, just ante up and keep your eyes open, they're out there.

Sam,

Would you mind if I added your scans of the '74 catalog to my website? Make a nice addition to the '76 catalog I already have. Due recognition for the source of coarse!

[Mark75H]

Sure, put them up there as long as you tell folks about Screamandfly.

Please forward this to Dick Tyndall: Don Cristy's stuff was obtained by "Mr. Sid-Craft" Len Lupton.

[Skip Hagerman]

Thanks Sam, I CCd you on mail to Dick.
