Very good on theory and troubleshooting, but only briefly covers alignment procedures. Both SS and vacuum tube circuits explained.
The classic volume for Technicians and Hobbyists
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This book, which was commonly used as a textbook in technician-level electronics programs and introductory engineering courses, is perhaps the best volume I have seen in explaining the basics of amplitude and frequency modulation and demodulation, basic receiver design, and the concomitant basics of audio amplification and reproduction. It is not an all-around electronics text and you should understand basic AC and DC electricity theory and use of basic test equipment before using it, but it effectively teaches superheterodyne theory and alignment and demodulation, covering both vacuum tubes and semiconductors. All radio hobbyists and audiophiles should own a copy, but I would eschew the facsimile in preference to an actual printed edition.
