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. 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.
