BASIC RADIO Vol. 1-6 - A Rider Publication (1961)
This is an introductory course entitled “BASIC RADIO - Volumes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6” by Marvin Tepper (1961). This is a 6-volume set on, as the title implies, basic radio. The best introduction to how radio works Ive seen. The courses present one fundamental topic at a time, taken up in the order of need, rendered absolutely understandable, and hammered home by the use of clear, cartoon-type illustrations. The illustrations are the most effective ever presented. Every page has at least one such illustration – every page covers one complete idea! An imaginary instructor stands figuratively at the reader’s elbow, doing demonstrations that make it easier to understand each subject presented in the course.
This encyclopedic six-volume set on the fundamentals and circuitry of radio communications is exhaustive in its coverage. Starting with the basics of electricity and magnetism, the reader is carried on through the field of electronics as applied to radio communications.
Following the study of electricity, magnetism, vacuum tubes, power supplies, amplifiers, oscillators, etc., the various circuits are combined into simple and complex radio receivers. The text covers both AM and FM receivers as well as AC-DC consoles, portables, auto, and communications receivers. The subject of transistors as applied to radio receivers is covered with considerable information given in the development of transistorized radios. One portion gives thorough coverage to antennas, transmission lines, and transmitters.
If youre a beginner just getting into vintage radio repair, READ THESE BOOKS!
