Re: User Manual Cathay CC600
If it's the one I'm thinking of, that was a name usually found on 1980s imported crap from the far east! Think Akura, Alba, Binatone, Amstrad...you get the idea.
Post a photo of the unit, might jog our memories.

Re: User Manual Cathay CC600
I remember in the 1980s Argos seemed to be the only place you buy Cathay items, but I'm sure many items were badge-engineered & it might be possible to find an identical item with another branding.

There was a lot of products that were private labeled in the US, as well! How about "Panashiba" and "Tonysonic". Dave, as usual! |

Re: User Manual Cathay CC600
I thought Cathay was a brand sold by Boots Chemists, I could be wrong though.
Perhaps a picture of the device will jog some memories and possible equivalents. Dave

Re: User Manual Cathay CC600
I do vaguely remember the 'Cathay' brand, but don't know much about it. I always assumed it was one of the random brands slapped onto Hong Kong stuff.
As Dave said, Cathay is a historical name for China. It lives on in the HK based airline Cathay Pacific. |
