Satellite Orbit Magazine Back Issues

[stjohn79]

I would LOVE to find back issues of Orbit Magazine from 1989-1993. Any advice on how to do so would be much appreciated. I actually reached out to the publisher and received a friendly rejection.

I might possibly have a few in storage, would take awhile to look...

Yep, I definitely have checked Ebay a few times. One guy on Etsy had a single issue for sale but it was from '95—later than what I'm looking for.

Awesome to hear! Let me know what you find.

Ok, like I say it will take awhile, had my house burn down a month ago, still dealing with the aftermath ...

Anything in particular your looking for out of them, I have a few from that era, I'll make a few scans of ads, etc.. If you'd like to see them. You might want to check out http://theoldcatvequipmentmuseum.org/220/221/index.html it has old Coops Satellite Digest up to when it stopped in 1987.

I received every issue of that magazine. Loved that era. Threw everyone in the trash. Would love to go back and look one over again.

I had saved a ton of them as well! Recycled long ago!

My dad had several boxes a few years back. I'll check to see if he still has them in his garage.

I'd be curious to see some of the lineups, old ads listing programming packages, etc from the early years of c-band and DBS satellite
