PRESTO History on the web
HI Trolls: The Presto History web site has moved to a new location. It can now be accessed
at http://www.prestohistory.com
If you have not visited, it contains a narrative on the history of the Presto Recording Company,
pictures and information on most of their disc and tape recorders and amplifiers.

Re: PRESTO History on the web
It's been one of our most crucial references since this site started. Thank you, prestofan!!
The site used to be at http://www.televar.com/grshome/Presto.html, in case anyone ever needs this info for a "wayback machine" search. I've updated most of the links throughout this site to the new site.

I have seen a sales brochure around too, but nothing about the 14-B in there.
Re: PRESTO History on the web
It is quite a rare machine. I had never seen one, other than the pictures on the Presto History page. Then found one here in the wild
