"Electronics Technician 3" Navy Training Courses 1960, 839pgs, SC.
Scattered and overwritten, just the way the government likes it! includes
Radar, Radiac, test equipment, god knows what else. 2" THICK, only 5"x8"
format. Use it as a doorstop! $8

"Workbench Guide to Electronic Troubleshooting" By Robert C. Genn, Jr.
215pgs, 1977. SC, spiral bound. Cover says "Here are instant solutions to
hundreds of your electronic troubleshooting problems".
Well, not so fast, buster. Very scattered, I think ,, but some good info.
Not for beginners! Covers antennas, aligning radios, but throws in
microwave and electric motors for some odd reason. VGC, $8

"The Cathode Ray Tube At Work" by Rider, 1935, 3rd printing 1936.333pgs,

********end of new listings************
Here is what's left of batch 11....

1955. approx 300 pgs, SC. has all the current popular tube types, plus
more data on the older types in the condensed chart in the rear. Also,
includes some early TV pix tube data, 7JP4, 10BP4, etc. nice extra section
SOLD


"4th Ed Record Album Price Guide" by Osborne/Hamilton.1982. some good info
on stereo vs mono, 60's British vs American releases... and , obsolete
prices. But, good reference if you want to know how many records Fleetwood
Mac released before they changed from a great blues band into a pop band,
for instance. 60's-70's mostly.$7


"Servicing by Signal Tracing" by Rider, 2nd printing 1939. 360pgs, HC.
One of the top 10 radio servicing classics, in my opinion. Absolutely the
most valuable
techniques and info for those who have a good basic grasp of radio
principles, and want to
service a radio much faster and get right at the problem! Read this book
and you will graduate from
"fooling with radios" to being a real pro. Really. VGC (spine printing
faded out) $20

"Reciever Troubleshooting and Repair" by Ghirardi and Johnson., 1952, 822
pgs, HC. Another of the
top 10 radio servicing classics. Its the updated, and really, better
version of the old classic
from the 30's called "Modern Radio Servicing". This book throws away the
test equipment info of the old
editions and adds FM and TV info, and other updated info. VGC, well worth
$22.

"
RCA Television Service Data for the 630TS and 648PTK chassis... 1947, SC, 11
x 8.5" size.
All the factory issued service info on these chassis. The 630 was the most
copied TV chassis at the
time, sort of the IBM XT of its era. Everyone built one, and RCA licensed
to nearly anyone.
Still one of the best TV sets of the era, highly collectable and
serviceable. $12


"Principles of Radio" by Henney, 3rd ed, 1938. Orig. published 1929. 429
pgs. HC.
gives good overview of radio, such as ohm's law, inductance and
capacity...plus properties of resonance.
Three chapters on the vacuum tube, the tube as an amplifier, and audio
amplifiers. VGC, $12

"Application of Radio and Television Principles" by Coyne, 3rd ed, 1950,
299pgs, HC.
Good electronics schoolbook. 4 chapters on tubes alone. Good chapter on
transformers, too.
VGC, $10.
