About this product
This barcode, UPC 0 09128 48784 7, is the newsstand code of Popular Electronics, the monthly electronics hobbyist magazine published by Gernsback Publications of Farmingdale, New York.[1] Gernsback had renamed its Hands-On Electronics to Popular Electronics in February 1989 and published it until December 1999, when it merged with Electronics Now to become Poptronics.[3] The code is printed beside the $2.95 cover price on the June 1991 issue, whose cover story was "Experiments in Electrochemistry" by Stanley A. Czarnik, with the issue add-on 06; the January and September 1991 and March 1992 covers carry it with their own month add-ons.[1][2][4][5] A barcode catalogue lists it under an eBay listing of that June 1991 issue.[6]
The June 1990 and August 1993 covers print 0 71896 48784 8 instead, with the same 48784 item number.[7][8] Ziff-Davis had published an earlier Popular Electronics from October 1954 until 1982.[3]

Coverage measures the evidence recorded here. It does not rate the product.
- Identity: 3 / 3 · Name, brand and classification recorded
- Context: 4 / 4 · Evidence groups assigned to a researched label, edition or analysis
- Label photographs: 0 / 4 · Researched contexts with an assigned photograph
- Specifications: 0 / 7 · Recorded specifications mapped to comparable property keys
- relationships · unknown: The UPC block 0 09128 carries magazines of several unrelated publishers (Horse Illustrated, Mopar Collectors Guide, a Comag puzzle title) as well as Gernsback's Electronics Now, which points to a newsstand distribution block rather than a publisher prefix; no company is written as prefix owner.
- identity · disputed: The June 1990 and August 1993 covers print 0 71896 48784 8 with the same 48784 item number; the December 1990 cover text is garbled, so the first issue carrying 0 09128 48784 7 falls between July 1990 and January 1991 and the last between March 1992 and August 1993.
