But surely there must be more; he always promised more; there was always the set of steak knives too.

Hello,
I was reading about him some time ago, and he would market an item which cost 20 cents and sell it for $2. There would have been very few households that didnt have a KTel product in the 60s or 70s. |

Also about a dozen of the various pop compilation albums from the '70's like Bobby Dazzler, Dynamic Hits, Electrifying Hits, Explosive Hits and so on. Wow memories have just come flooding back. ![]() This was one of my favourite records for a while ![]() |

Hello,
Hanimex was a similar type of company. Aussie, but an international player. |

Hello,
I found the same article while looking last night ! I went to a large Hanimex place in North Sydney many years ago. |

I would lay money that there wouldn't be more than only a few houses in an average town that didn't have something from K-Tel somewhere in them in the 1970's, and even now they pop up in the most unexpected places.
On that website that lists all their products from over the years, I love how at the bottom of a page it doesn't just have a button to click on for pages 1 and 2, etc, it also says "But wait! There's MORE!"... ![]() Matter of fact I still have the "Bottle Cutter" that my late father ordered back in the late seventies. Still works perfectly, still in its box. http://www.ktel.com/classics_products.php?id=17 |
