This book is not only an essential read for every professional
working with antique radio and gramophone equipment, but also
dealers, collectors and valve technology enthusiasts the world
over.
The emphasis is firmly on the practicalities of repairing and
restoring, so technical content is kept to a minimum, and always
explained in a way that can be followed by readers with no
background in electronics. Those who have a good grounding in
electronics, but wish to learn more about the practical aspects,
will benefit from the emphasis given to hands-on repair work,
covering mechanical as well as electrical aspects of servicing.
Repair techniques are also illustrated throughout.
This book is an expanded and updated version of Chas Miller's
classic Practical Handbook of Valve Radio Repair. Full coverage of
valve amplifiers will add to its appeal to all audio enthusiasts
who appreciate the sound quality of valve equipment.
A practical manual for collectors, owners, dealers and service
engineers
Essential information for all radio and audio enthusiasts
Valve technology is a hot topic

Andrea Fulvio's Illustrium imagines and the Beginnings of Classical
Archaeology is a study of the book recognized by contemporaries as
the first attempt (1517) to publish artifacts from Classical
Antiquity in the form of a chronology of portraits appearing on
coins. By studying correspondences between the illustrated coins
and genuine, ancient coins, Madigan parses Fulvio's methodology,
showing how he attempted to exploit coins as historical documents.
Situated within humanist literary and historical studies of ancient
Rome, his numismatic project required visual artists closely to
study and assimilate the conventions of ancient portraiture. The
Illustrium imagines exemplifies the range and complexity of early
modern responses to ancient artifacts.
Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the
1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly
expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable,
high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
Extensive information and color photos present all the Hot Wheels
die cast vehicles that Mattel, Inc. made from 1968 to 1999.
Collecting Hot Wheels continues to grow as a popular hobby. In this
revised and expanded edition, over 240 color pictures display
nearly all of the Hot Wheels made up to 1999, with newly updated
values. This book is an essential reference for collectors of all
types of die-cast vehicles.
This unique discography of 78 RPM recordings extensively profiles
solo and group horn performers, including chamber ensemble and
orchestra recordings. This work provides, in addition to detailed
data about individual recordings, invaluable commentary on actual
selected 78 RPM recordings. Some of the recordings are no longer
available in reissue and are therefore not easily accessible to the
general public. Biographical information contributes to the wealth
of researched information this discography provides. This
discography of 78 RPM horn recordings fills a gap in bibliographic
literature concerning horn recordings. A valuable reference to
hornists, musicians, and discographers, the exhaustive, descriptive
detail consists of data collected from numerous sources. Both
well-known and obscure artists are researched.
