These
Valve Guides are reprints of a series of books originally
published by Bernard's back in the 50' and 60's. They are
without doubt a must have for anybody in the business of
repairing or restoring old radios. Their full title is 'A
Comprehensive Radio Valve Guide' and they certainly live
up to this title, covering valves from the UK, US,
European, Russian and Japanese. |
| |
The
series comes as 5 books covering the year periods listed
below, one good aspect of the books is that the base
diagrams are shown on the same page as the technical
data, not the case with many other valve data manuals I
possess. |
| |
I
have found however, I guess because some valves were
added to later editions of the original manuals from
earlier years, that you really need all 5 volumes, as
although you are sure of the date of a particular valve
you may not find it in the book that theoretically covers
that year, it may well be in another of the books. If
fact to date there is not a single valve that I have
failed to find in one of the 5 books somewhere. |
| |
As
certain valves become more and more difficult to locate
the information contained in these books becomes
invaluable as it allows valves that may have similar
characteristics but different pin-outs to be identified,
and in worse cases allows the component values to be
calculated so that complete stages can be rebuilt using
completely different valves. |
