November 1961 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.

Field service of electronic products like radios, televisions, and even tape recorders/players and phonographs, was still a common thing in 1961 when this promotion appeared in Radio-Electronics magazine. Those assemblies had a lot of parts, most of which no two were the same. That is the nature of analog circuits containing multiple stages of varying gains, frequencies, and voltage / current / power levels. Stocking and carrying a kit of replacement parts likely to be exact replacements or suitable substitutes for factory parts was imperative for efficient and profitable business. Many component companies were supplying kits like this one featuring coils (inductors) for TV tuners from Standard Kollsman Industries. Similar kits existed for resistors, capacitors, vacuum tubes, transformers, dial lamps, switches, mechanical hardware, etc. For some reason Sun Chemical, a manufacturer of commercial inks, decided to acquire Standard Kollsman Industries in 1972. The $27.99 price for the kit in 1961 is equivalent to $293.13 in 2024 money (a factor of 10.5x in 63 years; it was just 8.6x in 2020 - massive inflation, 22%, in just 4 years).
