List Price: $27.00 Price: $16.78 You Save: $10.22 (38%) "Outstanding Book! Best in class!" - By John (Parker, Colorado)
This is an outstanding book and a must-have for vintage radio repair. This books covers theory very well and also the basics of radio repair including necessary equipment and troubleshooting techniques. For those who may think that this book is too heavy on theory...well...perhaps they should find something else to do. Repairing anything requires knowledge of theory because there are no cookbooks for such things. This book is the most outstanding work that I have read on this subject to date. Highly recommended.(68) -

"N2GJ gives it 2 thumbs up!" - By GJJ (USA)
First of all, if you're a radio amateur already:
RUN, don't WALK, to your nearest bookseller, and BUY THIS BOOK! (In fact, I got mine from AMAZON!)
If you're not, it's OK to walk to your bookseller and BUY THIS BOOK!
In truth, I have only begun to read the book -- an effort that will take me "forever" because of the richness of the fabric these guys have woven. It's fun, it's educational, and truly beautiful; in short, it's a work of art! I agree with the reader/reviewer who suggested a "true" coffee table edition in hardback! I'd certainly get in line to buy one....
It's loaded with wonderful touches: the timeline at the bottom of each page that puts the reader in touch with world events while following, chronologically, Jerry's life; the colorful glossary of ham radio jargon/terminology; the wonderful fold-out centerfold map ... full review(29) -

I think it's a beautiful set. Reading some of the reviews I expected it to be tiny but its a perfect size. I did not expect a huge set for $18. I love it and it will look beautiful in my son's Harry Potter room.(528) -

List Price: $34.95 Price: $34.91 "Top book on popular Zenith Antique Radios" - By Amazon Customer (New England)
I have to start by saying I have been a collector of antique radios for over 25 years, so this book is right up my alley.
I had the pleasure of meeting Dr Harold Cones at a radio swap meet several years ago, and heard a talk about the research that went into this series of books on Zenith.
Zenith radios are some of the most collectable antique radios. From the radio made famous (and expensive) by the Walton's Television series, to the more common table radios, and the large console radios with the big black dials and funny green "Magic Eye" tubes. This is from an era where worldwide communication was not instantaneous, and television was but a dream.
These authors had the opportunity to go through the archives of the Zenith Radio company prior to its dissolution. Zenith was the last American radio and ... full review(10) -

List Price: $38.00 Price: $32.33 You Save: $5.67 (15%) "Outstanding!!" - By Calvin
Outstanding book to learn about antique radios. It helps to have a little electronic knowledge prior to starting, but well worth the price. I can't wait to finish it so I can do some work on a couple of old tube radios I currently have in my possession.(1) -

"What year and model is grandfather's radio...?" - By Mike Rophone (Philadelphia, PA USA)
As the follow-up edition to Ron's earlier book on PHILCO, this continues to be the definitive reference for antique radio collectors and mass media historians. PHILCO (short for "Philadelphia Storage Battery Company") was the name synonymous with affordable radios for nearly three decades...along with the well-known "cathedral" style radio of the 1930s and 1940s.
During the Great Depression of the 1930s, the family radio was the last household item to be sold for rent and food money.
I recommend picking up your copy before this edition goes out of print.(17) -
