I was catching up with this thread and read how Jim Fred's antique radio column in *Elementary Electronics* was remembered by at least two of you after more than 35 years.
I was Technical Editor of *Elementary Electronics* back when Jim Fred wrote his columns.
He had written a modest article about the hobby that caught fire with a contingent of our readers. I got flooded with positive mail from enthusiastic readers. It was clear from my own passion for preserving a CT-100 that an important subset of our readers were vintage radio enthusiasts, and so we hired Jim as a regular columnist.
Elementary Electronics folded some years after I left to join TAB BOOKS, but not Jim's column; it was picked up by Larry Steckler at *Radio-Electronics* where Jim's love of collecting lived on.
