Mr Clark, who admits he is "a bit of a hoarder", collected the Electronics magazine issues, as well as others, after the Philips Central Library in the UK - now closed - started to clean them out.
...
"I was in my 20s at the time and thought you shouldn't throw them out because they are recording the golden age of electronics."
He gave several hundreds of them a home first in his loft, then under the floorboards and had not looked at them since.
Until last Wednesday, when his RSS news reader popped up with headlines from various websites with the news of the reward.
"I could feel the hairs standing up on my arms. I think I've got that, I thought - although I wasn't sure.
"I took the rest of morning off, and pulled the furniture back; I hadn't seen them for 15 years. I started sorting through them."
