I have from my Dad's estate some old TV servicing books to go to a good home.
1. Television Receiver Servicing Volume 1 - Time based Circuits 1954
2. Television Receiver Servicing Volume 2 - Receiver and Power Supply Circuits 1955.
3. Television Timebase Circuits - Principles and Practice. 1956.
4. TV It's A Cinch 1960 (first printed in 1957)
5. Basic Television 660 pages 1954
To keep it honest $10 plus postage to the first one in, my email address is in my profile.

..... SOLD .....

That's "Basic Television" by Bernard Grob, is it? That's the reference I use. If you haven't found a copy yet, I might be able to get one for you.

Yes, it is "Basic Television" by Bernard Grob. I have 2 copies now, 1954 and 1964.
Sorry about the delay but I could not login here for many, many months.
