If you care, the complete issues can be viewed here by year and issue. This thread caused me to look this stuff up. Amazing that it’s out there!

Wow, you can actually read the entire contents of every magazine? That’s incredible. I will definitely look through some of them.
I noticed on one of the covers that there was a mention of slot cars. There was a place here in NYC that I used to go to during the 60s and 70s to race my car around on various tracks they had. It was called Buzzarama. I couldn’t believe it when I found out a year or so ago that the place is still there. Only it’s a good deal smaller than it was back then. They used to have around 7 or 8 different types of tracks you could rent time on, including an HO scale. Now I think they just have one or two. I read that the owner says he doesn’t make much money doing it anymore, but wants to keep it going just to keep the hobby alive. To introduce today’s kids to it.
