I'm still going to find a copy of the Navy Electronics training book,the older one...I saw one printed around '74 in a bookstore,but that's not the one...guess I'll have to order it.


The books that supro mentioned are all outstanding treatises on the technical aspects of amplifier theory, maintenance, and modification. I'd also mention RCA's Receiving Tube Handbook (Westinghouse also offered one IIRC) and, for historical reference, Tom Wheeler's "The Soul Of Tone" which covers the evolutional geneology of Fender amp models, circuits, and cosmetics.

The local drugstore had a tube tester as well as Lafayette Radio Electronics.
The very last tube I tested in a store was a Drugstore tester....really that was around '77...I remember my oldest son was a baby.
I have the Weber books on amps,he mentioned the Navy book several times as that's what he read in the library....I thought it would be a good one.
I have the RCA manual,got it in a tube caddy I bought full of tubes. :)
