It is not on the web, and since Elektor is still around, copyright 
issues do arise.
You might want to look for the issues from may 74 until january 75 to 
have the complete set of articles. They do appear from time to time on 
european auction sites.
Look for "elektor", "elector" and "elektuur" (original Dutch version )
