FOR SALE:

Radiotron Designer's Handbook, Fourth Edition. Edited by F. Langford-Smith. Published by the Wireless Press for Amalgamated Wireless Valve Company Pty. Ltd. Sydney Australia, 1952. Reproduced and distributed by RCA Victor Division in America.

This (the Fourth Edition) is the big one with the red cover and 1,482 pages. Good condition. No page staining or damage. Spine shows signs of wear. Includes signature and address of previous owner.

A wonderful resource for anyone wanting to reference electronic design concepts from the vacuum tube era. Great definitions, clear tables and graphs, and fully indexed.

Obviously, some of the information is no longer covered at institutes of higher education, so when considering the value, remember that a single credit-hour at university starts at about $400. It is impossible to obtain some of this data for any price at any school today. Own a piece of history and read it on cold winter nights by the fire (or hot summer days by the pool) — whatever you do, don't mistake downloading the .pdf file for having a collectible classic in your radio reference library.

$61 includes shipping to any point on the globe

AVAILABLE TO TRADE:
Hickok model "TV-10B/U" Tube Tester (ex-Navy)
Serial Number 223

AVAILABLE TO TRADE:

I have an ex-Navy Hickok model "TV-10B/U" tube tester (serial number 223). It's clean, and the scroll is in excellent condition. Apparently complete — the tubes are there (see photos), the power lamp comes on, but when the Line Adjust button is pushed, the meter does not move. As the Line Adjust knob is turned, the Type 81 lamp (fuse) glows brighter. Have not investigated further. Might be a bad tube, or meter.

The TV-10 is a slightly upscale model to the more common "TV-7" tube tester. It's a bit larger, and has the scroll instead of the loose-leaf tube data booklet.

Long term plans include getting it going again, but for now I am looking to trade it towards a working TV-7
— must be clean, undamaged, and in working condition. All offers considered!

I found a Grundig MS 50a stereo console hi-fi waiting for the trash collector, and I did not have the heart to see it go to the dump so I took it home. However, I neither need or want this unit - I just wanted to grant it a temporary stay of execution with the hope that someone might be able to give it a new home. Is there a local (New England) Grundig collector who can use this machine for restoration or parts?? I am sure it is very rare, and there cannot be many of these left in the world. It seems to be of extremely high quality materials and workmanship, but does need restoration. That being said, it is complete, and should be completely restorable by somebody handy. The unit must be picked up in New Bedford, Mass and I will help the taker load it up. Unfortunately, I cannot keep this unit for long as I am living in borrowed space - so please act fast before I have to dispose of it. Come and get it, the price is right.
