Guide to restoring old receivers - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Folks,

A colleague of mine has a friend who has written an eBook on the subject. As a beginner, I think it is brilliant and just what I needed to get me started. Great stuff!

Here is the link:-

I hope this is not posted elsewhere.... but hopefully a Mod will put it in the right place and perhaps make it a 'sticky'.

Hope this is as useful to other beginners as it is to me.

Dennis.

Excellent e-book.

David,
You're right.
I pasted it in first but I couldn't get rid of the markup, so I typed it
