4.0 out of 5 stars
Thoroughly Well Presented,
By
This review is from: Valve Radio and Audio Repair Handbook (Newnes) (Paperback)
So why only 4 stars? My only complaint is that the diagnostic advice is not as comprehensive as I expected. Even so, this book provides a wealth of practical advice which is suitable for beginners and the more experienced. Well done, sir!

Brilliant,
By A Customer
This review is from: Valve Radio and Audio Repair Handbook (Newnes) (Paperback)
At last a 'how to repair radio' book that caters for most levels of competence, and has all the relevant data to hand. I wish I had had this book years ago - it would have saved some worthy radios from the scrapheap. I can't praise this book highly enough.

This book does what it says on the cover!,
By
This review is from: Valve Radio and Audio Repair Handbook (Newnes) (Paperback)
I have rarely read a book with so much information per £cost. All perfectly understandable for people with no previous experience, but still lots for those with a good knowledge of valves. If you are wondering which book to buy on this subject, you have my assurance that this book "Does what says on the cover"!
