So I see a lot of guys that drop in here at the Radio Bench, would like to say that
they repaired the original radio in their Stovebolt.
Taint as easy as reading any article Friday night and restoring your radio over the weekend.
It's gonna take a bit of study and one of the absolute best radio correspondence courses
from back in the day was this one, which was based in Chicago, IL.
Finding the original hard copies of the course booklets is near impossible, believe me, I've
looked for decades to complete my original course material. But....the other day I happened
to be looking for something on Google and ran across this ebay item. Thought I'd take a chance
on it, what the heck, $7.49 with free shipping is less than I spend when I go out for breakfast.
I don't know the source, have nothing to do with it, I'm just giving it 5 stars. I got it within a few days,
it's in .pdf format, down loaded quick onto my Dell hard drive or read it from the CD. Excellent
quality scans, all clear and aligned straight and well organized. So if you want to learn the basics
I'd highly recommend adding one of these to the bench in the man cave.
Can't link to it, but look for this at ebay and it will pop up.
SPRAYBERRY ANTIQUE RADIO SERVICING COURSE - Over 3,000 Vintage Pages - CD
The NRI or National Radio Institute correspondence courses were also very good and began
back in the early 20's and ran well into the 60's. They are much easier to come by and I've
also seen them on CD. But......my first choice would be the Sprayberry courses.
Enjoy,
