Polk legacy models pages on site no longer available?

msg

Hey guys,
anyone know whether the legacy speaker pages are still available somewhere on the site? I used to read up on older speaker specs and info on these pages. they were pretty handy. are they no longer available, or am I just missing something?

Yup, they are gone from here. But the Wayback machine comes to the rescue: http://web.archive.org/web/20110219125848/http://www.polkaudio.com/search/older-models.php

oh, awesome, man! I keep forgetting about this, thanks!
looks like you still gotta do some digging to get to the original pages it looks like, but hey, they're in there. thanks for that.

wonder why they pulled the originals. most places still maintain info on legacy products. kinda sucks - those info pages were well laid out, imo. made it easy to pull and compare specs on stuff. and the photos.

also, looks like maybe they're going to be bringing this stuff back?
they have a link off the main page for Product Manuals. hit that link and it pops a page with "Coming Soon"

Also wondering why they disappeared. It was one of my favorite things about PolkAudio, that they cared enough to neatly compile all their legacy info.

yeah, I agree. I sent them an email the other day with those thoughts and asked whether it was something they're going to be bringing back.

oOo, found a more recent page from the WayBack machine which appears quite a bit more complete:

yeah, that one works pretty well. I used to have some kind of program that would download a website's pages. you could set the number of child links you wanted it to pull down. something like that would be handy to have in this case. just to have a local copy.

Very much so!
