A comprehensive radio valve guide?
Hi, being a bit of a pakrat, hoarder and general tightwad I generally keep "stuff for later" and any service manuals I get my hands on as I know how useful they are in repairing old kit.
Well, down in my cellar I have a box I have not looked in for years - it contains loads of old service guides (70's tape recorder, hifis etc - not real vintage stuff) - I'll see if I can list whats in there later.
Anyway - in the box there was also a set of 5 "Bernards Radio Manuals":
All .
No. 100 = "A Comprehensive Radio Valve Guide" - Book 1 by W.J.May
No. 121 = "A Comprehensive Radio Valve Guide" - Book 2 by B.B.Babani
No. 143 = "A Comprehensive Radio Valve Guide" - Book 3 by B.B.Babani
No. 157 = "A Comprehensive Radio Valve Guide" - Book 4 by B.B.Babani
No. 178 = "A Comprehensive Radio Valve Guide" - Book 5 by B.B.Babani
All in good condition apart from the staples have rusted away.
Now I'm wondering what to do with them, my own valve book did not survive a flood & has rotted away, I cannot find these online anywhere - not even for sale so I am guessing that they are quite rare now?
My main question is - are these available as PDF anywhere?
I don't want to waste my time scanning them into PDF if they are.
I know I'll get peanuts selling them on ebay so I'd rather PDF them for posterity, but only if they are not already done. Once that's done I can either wrap them up & re store them or pass them on.
Cheers,
Matt
