September 1960 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 Labor Day here in the U.S., so most folks are enjoying a day off. I, of course, work on RF Cafe every day since expectations for new content are different depending on a website visitor's country's norms. These three electronics-themed comics appeared in a 1960 issue of Radio-Electronics magazine. All are related to television, which was a big thing back in the day since it was a relatively new addition to many households. Today, everyone has effectively a TV in his/her pocket or purse. It almost never requires service, and has excellent reception just about everywhere. Our forebears have provided a mighty service through hard work and dedication. I took the liberty of colorizing the original black and white line drawings.
