I received two original Cado System catalogues today from the person I bought my unit from. These things are great showing all the different configurations and individual pieces. Some awesome pictures of room setups.
Would these be of interest to other people? If so how should I share? Can I scan to a PDF and upload them to this site someplace?
Thanks

Hi,i'm very interested in...
Hi,
i'm very interested in high quality scans of these catalogues,
I believe the best way to share them would be to upload the scans to flickr and add them to related groups (these is a group dedicated to "Mid-Century and Danish Modern Wall units and storage"...).
Seriously, Kav do not give...
Seriously, Kav do not give the scans away here.
This place is filled with uptight dealers who refuse to help and mock any new member who comes here asking questions.
These guys wouldnt give away a resource like this away for free.
Sell them on ebay @ $20 bucks a pop. I've seen similar copies of catalogs/brochures sell in the 20-50 dollar range. Black and white photo copies stapled together will suffice.
and here
is just one example of spacepirate1's non-mocking and helpful comments to a poster 🙂

Hmmm....
This has become very interesting... The innocent idea was to share with other people who would appreciate them. If I did upload hires copies I could see how some may take advantage and exploit.
I may do as you say Spacepirate1 and make B&W printed copies and put them on Ebay for a very reasonable price (cover shipping and effort) so many can share. For now I'm going to think about it, I will keep you posted.

Hi,
I believe the best way to defeat "uptight dealers who refuse to help" is to share this kind of information freely so that anyone in need of information would access it.
I am a collector myself and as such I value originals and not copies/scans.
When I manage to get an original catalogue I will scan it and share it for free. I would never buy or sell scans.
Just my 2cts.
I hear what you're saying....
I hear what you're saying. Here is an original catalogue on ebay (not mine) and seems very reasonable currently.
Thanks

I think spacepirate1 might have changed his comment about the chairs I posted at this link. If I remember correctly he wrote a very negative and scathing comment about the chairs but now he loves it and wants to know where I got them. Strange.
