Vintage consumer electronics - especially audio electronics - has come of age.
Even those without an extensive background in electronics can appreciate the skill, ingenuity, and raw hours of labor devoted to extracting maximum value from the simplest, most elegant vintage designs.
Armed with this book, your grandparents’ old tube-type receiver needn’t lay fallow in the basement. This book takes the reader through over a dozen projects, from a simple AM/FM tabletop receiver to a sophisticated reel-to-reel tape recorder/player. If you can read component values and handle a soldering iron and small hand tools, then you’re all set to go.
The book is 222 pages and in an 8-1/2" x 11" format.
