Kodak Instamatic 40 Camera Kit - I have one just like this -
the entire kit. The special "Kodak K" battery is no longer available.
A popular meme on chat websites these days is the posting of some items or
scenes indicative of times many moons ago, with a comment something like, "If
you know what this is, you are probably wearing reading glasses." I recently saw
one with a picture of an old cube type flash bulbs that went on Kodak Instamatic
cameras. In fact, I still have my Kodak Instamatic 40 camera and a couple
of unused
flashcubes. Those flashcubes were expensive for a guy who never had much
pocket cash; maybe that's why I have so few pictures from back in the day.
Anyway, I mention all that because some of the topics of these
electronics-themed comics from a 1962 issue of Electronics Illustrated
magazine would be likely candidates for the meme. I definitely relate to TV
vertical sync comic, the in-store vacuum tube tester comic, and the kit-built
electronics comic.
