When I was a kid, I got hold of a few of the Art Margolis TV repair books from the 1950s & early 60s. Those were great for the hobbyist, or someone with a little bit of electronics experience but no formal training needed. They include a lot of details about early 50s sets, and a few late 40s. They give all the basics, and there is Art's beginner title "Professional TV Repair Secrets". That stops short of soldering anything, but gives all the tube-related tips, and adjustments, and lots of fundamental understanding of what parts of the TV do what functions.
For the slightly more advanced hobbyist with good soldering and some electronics education, I like the Video Handbook by (??? Boyce & Scheraga ???) (circa 1949).
