'Television Servicing Books (C&G/R.T.E.B course) for sale. - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

These four A5-sized books, published in 1958, formed a series designed to cover the syllabus of the City & Guilds and R.T.E.B examinations in Television Servicing. The contents of the books can be seen on the attached pics. Book 1 is 72 pages, book 2 is 88 pages, book 3 is 72 pages, and book 4 is 95 pages. The covers are shabby, but the pages are fine.

I have no interest in TVs, but I imagine that the books would be quite useful to anyone interested in TVs from the late 50s early 60s era.
Volume 4 for example – ‘Practical Servicing & Fault Finding’ considers more than 400 faults on typical receivers.

The first picture shows the front cover of Volume 1. The other four shows the contents of each volume with a little more clarity.

£4.50 including post, if of interest to anyone.
