I like the comparison as I have an understanding of both and many of their capabilities, and I know rudimentary circuit applications for the transistor as our labs in college naturally in modern times were transistor based. I am lucky enough to have gotten my feet wet in a time when we studied both vacuum tube and transistor theory and application along with the God given opportunity to know how to use an analog V.O.M. Seems like our class had Simpson 260s and I don't ever remember digital anything although I know that they existed.

So, somehow I always looked at tube circuits or devices as one thing and solid state as another. So much for hybrids I guess. As far as books I have quite a library of vintage electronics books including a complete 1940s National Radio Institute (N.R.I.) correspondence course textbook set. Only a few of my books come up into the transistor era which never bothered me as my more modern college books cover all of that and of course the digital realm.

So again, thanks for the section by section comparison. Now, I need to find those two caps in my horizontal output circuit and get them replaced along with taking some voltage measurements and get them posted. For now I'm not going to worry with scope waveforms as I think it would really just throw me off track in my true understanding of the circuits and their behavior.
