If anyone has Mark 2-era Dallas Arbiter (or earlier) or later DMI-era (1976 and later) catalogs or brochures, and might consider sending me scanned pages as JPEG files, I'll be happy to post them here.
It's interesting to consider that all Sound City amps and cabs originally carried a lifetime warranty/guarantee! With the company long since gone, the question becomes "Whose 'lifetime' did they mean?"
