'Electronic Classics' is a classic on it's own merits,
By Andrew R. Henderson (Edinburgh, Scotland United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Electronic Classics: Collecting, Restoring and Repair (Paperback)
For anyone interested in the restoration and history of a wide range of electronic 'classic' from the well known Radio and Television through to those obscure 'new' antiques, this is THE book to have. I've never seen so much on this subject packed into one volume. It covers much detail over the pages and the net effect is a bit like having three decades of experience from an expert in your hands. Any question you might have on old Telephones, Radios, Televisions can be derived from this book or by contacting one of the organisations or dealers listed in the very comprehensive back pages. No one has written a book in this area with so much precision and depth. You will learn a wealth of time and money saving tips on restoration. This book must be a number one purchase for any dealer in 20th Century 'antiques' or collectibles. easy to read and understand too. A true classic.
