[Boatanchors] The Radio Electronics Master 1962

[J. Forster]

There is/was also the EEM (Electronic Engineer's Master) and others. For a
while I could not even give them away at fleas. Many went to the dumpster.
Eventually the EEMs got to be 4 or 5 volumes, nearly a foot thick.

I've kept about every third year for reference. IMO, the most useful part
was the 'phone directory. With that you could keep track as companies
played PacMan.

No, I don't have any of them available.
