book review This is an absolutely indispensible book for those just getting into radio restoration, especially if they don't come from a technical background. For instance, because of this book, I now know how and why vacuam tubes work.
Old Time Radios Review A very informative book. I recently began renovating old radios have have found this book to be a tremendous help. Although I have a degree in electronics, it was great reviewing tube theory for AM and FM circuits.
My goal was accomplished by reading this book. I have been interested in and tinkered with electronics since I was a boy, but I didn't have the knowledge to do any involved repairs. Over the years my family and I have had tube radios that worked fine at one time, then started to hum, with the humming eventually getting so bad it drowned out everything else. I remembered my folks taking one of these sets to a radio/TV repairman when I was a kid and being told it wasn't worth fixing. For years I have wanted to find out what caused this and maybe fix those... more info
Nice book on radio theory If you want a book on how tube radios work, this is a great book. If you want to know how to actually restore radios, not so good.
