I helped someone clearing out an estate today and scored around 90 pounds of electronics magazines. Primarily "Electronic" [Servicing & Technology] (70s through 80s), and Radio-Electronics (mid 60s through 70s). Inspired this thread.

Missing from that shot of early PAiA lore is September & October 1973 (I would have included them, but they skipped August so I thought the series was done until I referenced it)

I approve of this message. That is a nice score.
Before my first real electronics class in high school, Radio Electronics was crucial to my electronics education.

I have a fondness for pre - Space Age electronics magazines.

The name of Radio & TV News was changed to Electronics World in May 1959 to reflect the expanding field of electronics. The feature stories covered technology and its applications. The focus was on how technology works. There were also articles on audio and video consumer electronics, communications systems, automotive and industrial electronics.
In 1972 it merged with Popular Electronics and both names were on the cover of the surviving publication

Radio Electronics Magazine Archives
Radio-Electronics was an American electronics magazine that was published under various titles from 1929 to 2003. Hugo Gernsback, sometimes called The Father of Science Fiction, started it as Radio-Craft in July 1929. The title was changed to Radio-Electronics in October 1948 and again to Electronics Now in July 1992. In January 2000 it was merged with Gernsback's Popular Electronics to become Poptronics. Gernsback Publications ceased operations in December 2002 and the January 2003 issue was the last. Over the years, Radio-Electronics featured audio, radio, television and computer technology. The most notable articles were the TV Typewriter (September 1973)[1] and the Mark-8 computer (July 1974). These two issues are considered milestones in the home computer revolution.

I used to take these! Note the price of 2/6. Two and six, or half a crown. Two shillings (20 shillings to the pound) and six pence (240 to the pound)
