This quad of
electronics-related comics appeared in the March 1967 issue of
Radio-Electronics magazine. Their themes reflect the
norms and issues of the era. If you have ever had to re-string the dial cord on
a radio where the path turned a few corners and ran around three or four tuning
element pulleys, then you will appreciate the comic from page 101. My most
challenging dial cord adventure was on a
Realistic Patrolman-50 portable radio. It was bought on eBay, and the dial
cord broke shortly after I received it. Without a routing diagram, it took a bit
of head scratching to get figure out the correct direction for wraps around
dials and pulleys. The oscilloscope display on the page 59 comic is pretty
funny. Enjoy.
