Magazine Binders for 'The Bulletin' & other A4 Magazines - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Looking for a sensible means of filing and protecting 'The Bulletin' (the excellent BVWS members' magazine) I found these smart and practical binders at Rymans.

They will also accept any A4-size magazine e.g. Radio Bygones, Radiophile, Model Engineer, Model Engineers Workshop, etc.

Fantastic find Edward

I was only wondering yesterday how to keep my scruffy piles of "Television" magazines tidy. Thanks for the tip.

I have been using those Rymans binders for a few years for my copies of Television. WHS used to do a range but no longer and it seems the Rymans ones are the only ones left. Of course since we won't be getting any more copies of Television I won't be needing any more...

When you said 'Bulletin' I thought you were referring to Radio Communication (RadCom) but obviously not... I have just invested in the CD archives of RadCom going back to 1939 and all my old paper issues (not that far back...) have gone into recycling.

They look very similar to the "official" ones for Television Magazine.

You can also use Magazine Files: A4-ish sized boxes with an open top and partially-open front, made of cardboard, plastic or wood. They're usually about 3"-4" wide, and are very useful for keeping magazines upright on bookshelves without the whole lot falling over.

The Rymans do look very much fit for purpose. I've tried lots of binder combinations for different mags over the years [being someone who does more reading than soldering] but I found having too many binders a bit cumbersome in the end-especially if you are doing a lot of referring to different issues at once. CD's are usefull but I like having the paper as well.
A set of old recycled shelves and a row of the Magazine Files Nick refers to is now my preferred option but a nice set of Binders might be more visually acceptable some locations. The [BVWS] Bulletin is almost a case apart. It's so well produced [no offence to the others] that I'm more inclined to frame them and hang them on the wall!

I have in the past made similar binders myself. Not a difficult task using suitable board (mine started live as printing plate packaging), thin cord, and offcuts of Rexine or similar to finish.
