Default Re: Attracting younger members to Vintage Equipment

Good point about reading, Sam. Like many on here I suspect, I started reading Practical Wireless when I was about ten years old. I didn't understand 90% of it, but I enjoyed reading the circuit descriptions that accompanied the constructional articles, plus of course the wonderful adverts...

This hobby, like many worthwhile endeavours, takes time to master. We are all some way along the road to mastery, if that's even possible, but the journey itself is full of interest. Like a jigsaw puzzle, pieces sometimes drop into place and improve your understanding, even after fifty years of playing with electronics.
