Does any one have a copy of this issue ?

I'm looking to build the Living Van by Tony Webster.

I have the issue, but the middle column on page 233 is barely readable .

If anyone could assist I would be extremely grateful.

Regards,
Bob

Sorry, "Packmule" but I have Jan - June 1984 on my lap right now and it is Vol 152, issues 3720 - 3731.

Just check your reference for typos and try again.

Hello, Packman:

I have ME's from 1975 to 1985 in Easibinders on my bookshelf, which is why I could quickly check if it was there. If these contained the issue that you wanted, then of course I would help.

I think (and may get shot down for this) that your date (1984) was wrong. 1984 is vols 152, 153.

I ran out of shelf space, so what I have left of later issues are in boxes in the attic and my knees really are not up to scrambling about up there now, which might leave the kids with some tiding up to do...

Best wishes,

Dick

Thanks for your reply Dick.

Hi everyone ,

Its finally happened ,Iv'e lost the plot.

The date for the issue is 18th Feb 1994 not what I said previously. Sorry.

I did have the issue but due to space ,bits I wanted were copied and this issue and a lot of others were disposed of ,proceeds going to MND.

The print on one page ( 233 ) was not very good especially the middle column hence my request.

Apologies again for being a idiot.

Not quite on topic but I was looking for some issues of ME last week. My collection gets mixed up from time to time making it difficult to find a particular issue. It really emphasises how BAD the front cover designers are. Like the latest issue has the data in tiny print not at the top, but an inch down so in a pile one would have to rummage to see it.
THINK. How do mags get stored. At best in cardboard holders with the top of the spine the easiest to get at.

MEW latest issue has the number in the top left corner, sensibly large test so can be read without glasses. Clear white text. Only missing a date.
