I stumbled across the Practical Electronics Magazine scans library today - https://worldradiohistory.com/UK/Practical-Electronics/

These mags got me started into electronics and computers. The first mag I started reading was this edition which featured a build your own UK101 6502 based single board computer:


Practical-Electronics - August 1979

Thanks for the link, should be some interesting reading in all those old Mags :)

Are these up in the internet archive? I can only see a couple of copies (1, 2) but I might be looking in the wrong place.

Might be good to get the archive to scoop up those scans!

I used to love the maplin mags. Think I still got a few somewhere. Always something interesting in each issue. Old Bob used to have his car full of electronics mags. He was like a mobile library :lol:

My father was a newsagent and he let me have the Practical Electronics every month from 1979 onwards. I still had the mags I remember at my first house but I think they got lost in many moves. Loved waiting each month for these. As @exxos mentioned there were always interesting circuits in them, just like the Maplin mags.
