"All American Five Radios - From Scratch"
by Richard (Dick) Whipple
In the last few years, interest in
vintage tube radios has increased remarkably. My interest in tube radios
dates to my youth in the 1950s and 60s when my dad and I operated a small
radio repair business. After retirement, I purchased an "All American
Five" tube radio at an antique store. The pleasure of bringing it back
to life led me to collect and repair many more vintage tube radios. Recently
I felt inspired to pass along my radio repair knowledge and experience to a
new generation of tube radio enthusiasts. Having already written four Amazon
books, I was comfortable adding a fifth book to my “From Scratch” series,
this time about radio repair. "From Scratch" means I make no
assumptions about the reader's knowledge or experience with tube radios, but
begin with radio theory, cover the technical side of repair, then provide
specific examples of how the repair is done. While I focus on the very
popular All American Five design, the reader can readily apply the details to
other tube radios. Whether your purpose is a one-time reviving of an acquired
vintage tube radio, or you intend to take on reviving AA5s and AA4Bs as a
pastime or vocation, I believe my book will be enlightening.
