Yeah, nice little article of VMX in a mainstream magazine!

But I agree... The GE days of the late 70s/early 80s were the pick of them all - great articles, brilliant photos for the time, tell it like it is style. And he could spell and knew his grammar!

If any one has a spare copy of this early edition, a pretty penny will be paid. It is the ONE issue I am missing for a complete set from first to latest.

Any help tracking this one down greatly appreciated.
