Popular Mechanics, Popular Science, Mechanix Illustrated, Popular Electronics, Radio News (1939-1974)       These vintage issues of Popular Mechanics, Popular Science, Mechanix Illustrated, Popular Electronics, and Radio News mostly run about 250-300 pages of articles, columns, departments and short features of DIY and how-to subjects. Some of the subheads in the table of contents include automobiles, aviation, radio, electronics, health, household aids, new inventions, photography, craftwork, unusual facts and ideas, hints for the handyman, model building, home laboratory experiments, boats, new shop ideas, and woodworking. Every article is illustrated with photographs or detailed drawings. And, or course, there are many pages of ads for everything from training for jobs in radio, diesel mechanics, lawn mower sharpening, drafting, cartooning, and law enforcement to tires, lathes, cameras, test gear, microscopes, kits of all kinds, spark plugs, and every conceivable power and hand tool. A few of the spines have been repaired with J-Lar library tape. On a few early ones, the owner noted on the covers articles of interest to him.       I have only one copy of each issue. So if you want one, reserve it by e-mail at SwapMeetDave@aol.com and I'll set aside the ones you want, e-mail you the total cost with Media Mail postage, and ship them upon receipt of your check or money order. Yes, I can ship to Canada and foreign countries, but be warned, there is no Media Mail rate outside of the USA and these magazines are quite heavy (read, high shipping cost). I also accept Pay Pal to SwapMeetDave@aol.com (add 3% PayPal fee for U.S. orders and 4% for foreign orders).
