our libarary threw out some nice books , including one called " How to use test probes " It was a Rider pulication from 1954 , and was real handy for various TV and radio service jobs . One day I went in the to get it , and it was gone , later on I asked about it , and I found out it was dicarded .
So I was on Ebay and found one in New York , and now I have my own copy .
There are quite a few old TV books on ebay , and they are really handy to have . The great thing with a vintage book is it deals just with tubes and equipment from that particular era . I would highly recommend any of the Rider publications , and for basic do it yourself you there were a few TV books done by Art Margolis in 1962 and 64 , I got these years ago and they were a great beginners book with lots of test pattern pics and everything in plain english .
