Three more electronics-themed comics here, these from a 1962 issue of Radio-Electronics magazine. They represent a good spectrum of consumer electronics service issues of the era. The page 41 comic scenario is not likely to occur with a television today; it's more likely with a Li-Ion powered cellphone sitting in your pocket. The page 60 comic, on the other hand, is more likely to happen today with all the anti-theft devices used on in-dash devices like radios, GPS navigation units, and Ham (Amateur) and CB radios. Even without the anti-theft devices, good luck getting the dashboard apart enough to service the device. I recently replaced an in-dash air vent valve motor in my daughter's truck, and spent probably two hours of finding hidden bolts and clips, while lying contorted, upside down and on my back to get access. The page 104 comic speaks for itself (then again, so do the others).
