Art Margolis is clearly the best writer for the TV hobbyist. I have 6 or 7 of his books. Most of my earliest TV repair hobby knowledge is from his books.

I thought about looking him up too, but decided he would be too old, if he's still with us. He looks about 55 in his "Professional TV Repair Secrets," which was published in the late 50s.

Another famous TV repair author I'd like to mention is John R. Meagher of RCA Servce. His works include the Pict-O-Guide series, and many many RCA publications as well as commentary in other TV repair books. He is most likely no longer with us, but I consider him the Godfather of TV repair.
