October 1969 Electronics World

October 1969 Electronics World Cover - RF Cafe  Table of Contents 

Wax nostalgic about and learn from the history of early electronics. See articles from Electronics World, published May 1959 - December 1971. All copyrights hereby acknowledged.

It has been over a year since I have worked on any old electronics gear, so the need for hand-dandy color code charts has not been at the top of my list for publishing. My bad. Every day there are untold thousands of people hard at work - although most wouldn't consider it work - restoring and maintaining a bit of world history. Many - probably most - of these components and markings will never be seen by the vast majority. If you do a search on the RF Cafe website, you will find many types of color code charts that were published in magazines over the decades by the likes of Electronics World, Popular Electronics, Radio & TV News, Short Wave Craft, etc.
