items from the issue that I found interesting:
Part II of the SSTV introductory article, p31 The circuit details including the flying spot imager mechanical diagram:
There is a fast-scan flying spot scanner within the B&K Television Analyst
see this site for more info:

Flying spot is just so cool - it was also used for ATV before video cameras became small/inexpensive.
band edge marker hint and kink, p 82
I thought this was a clever idea - now an LED would be used instead of the neon bulb but with counters and PLLs no one really needs this anymore, in addition custom crystals would be EXPENSIVE.
Gil cartoon, p 71
Novice DXCC ? Well this was during the greatest solar cycle of the radio era.
