Electronics-Themed Comics
December 1962 Radio-Electronics

July 1967 Radio-Electronics

July 1967 Radio-Electronics Cover - RF Cafe[Table of Contents]

Wax nostalgic about and learn from the history of early electronics. See articles from Radio-Electronics, published 1930-1988. All copyrights hereby acknowledged.

It is Friday when this is being posted, so that makes it a good day for these three new electronics-themed comics. They come from a 1967 issue of Radio-Electronics magazine, so the scenarios are a bit outdated. However, even if you didn't live during the era or have not read much about what the hottest topics and concerns of the era were, you can still appreciate the humor. As recently as the 1990s and early 2000s there were still a fair number of computer and electronics repair services around, so even Gen Z'ers might remember them, and certainly Millennials (aka Gen Y). By 1967, vacuum tubes were disappearing from the repair scene as radio and TV owners replaced broken sets with newer transistorized models - which would also break down and need repair. With tubes, you could pull them all from the chassis and take them to a store with an automatic tester, and there was a good chance the problem would be fixed with a $2 tube. Solid state equipment was not so easy to service, but then overall they were more reliable. Have a great weekend!
