Default Semi-ancient magazines, almost free to a good home

I have a pile of Popular Electronics/Electronics Now/Poptronix from
around 1996 through 2000 and a bit more. Not complete. Probably 10-15
pounds worth.

Just pay media mail/book rate shipping from zip 19004 and they're yours.

While some of the technology is dated, at least these have projects
that don't all involve software!

Those days were in some ways a milestone for home construction - before
you could buy whatever you want from China for far less than you could
make it. Maplin in the UK produced some super in house kits then - some of
which I still use. Notably a very decent low distortion signal generator
and a wheatstone bridge continuity tester which gives a different 'tone'
according to the resistance. Oh - and a solder station. All of which were
good value compared to commercial products.
