July 1965 Popular Electronics Cover - RF CafeTable of Contents

Wax nostalgic about and learn from the history of early electronics. See articles from Popular Electronics, published October 1954 - April 1985. All copyrights are hereby acknowledged.

If you like word puzzles, then maybe you'll want to give this word search with names of common electronics components hidden within a matrix of random letter a go. It appeared in the July 1965 issue of Popular Electronics magazine. Keep that in mind while searching for the Mystery Word since some might not be overly familiar to latecomers (we old-timers will recognize it with ease). Interestingly, in the original hard copy was missing the word for #23. I needed to look in the given solution to find it and add it to the list. Enjoy.
