TMC Sales and Service Bulletins

A couple of years ago I was fortunate to put in the winning bid for a large collection of Technical Materiel Corporation Technical Bulletins (TB's) and Sales and Service Bulletins (SSB's). These Bulletins are 4-8 page brochures for everything that TMC built and sold. Irritatingly, they do not have publication dates, but from dates on related material in the collection I bought, it appears that these Bulletins represent the state of things at TMC in about 1964.

Later on I won another set of bulletins. These cover some of the solid state equipment that TMC was building in the late 60's, early 70's. Irritatingly, TMC changed the numbering scheme for the bulletins. Some of them have numbering of the form xxx.XXXX, and still others x.XXXX. So, for example, the DAC is covered by the OLD bulletin 158A, and the NEW bulleting 204-4413.

Why would you care about this? Well.... these Bulletins are a terrific way to put together the entire TMC story, since they outline all of the various building blocks that TMC made and how these blocks are assembled into complete equipment sets. In other words, the Bulletins are the essential guide to TMC collecting!

If you have any Technical or Sales/Service Bulletins or other TMC ephemera that's not listed here, I would be very grateful if you'd make a good, single-sided copy or high-quality scan and email it to me. I'll post it and give you credit. Send me email at .

Catalogs

There are a couple of color scans of full-line catalogs below. Irritatingly, TMC didn't date or number these things. From the catalog context, it's fairly clear which order they should be in, so I've arbitrarily numbered them that way.  Catalogs #1 and #2 appear to be from the same time period, probably early 60's.
