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.

As the author of the book “Single Ended Triode Amplifiers – From Scratch,” I tackled one of the tube-based audio output types in detail. Considering that readers might be interested in other types, I decided to author a book and provide a more comprehensive treatment of the audio power output configurations. In the spirit of my "From Scratch" books, I start with the basics, build the theory from these, and end with breadboard tests that apply the theory. As for starting with the basics, what could be more basic than the electron itself, which is where we start in Chapter 1. From there, we explore power output tubes and the circuit configurations that use them. Configurations include single-ended and push-pull, as well as Class A, Class B, and Class AB types. For each, we show an application that demonstrates the elements of the theory, and, where appropriate, we use simulations and breadboarded circuits to confirm the theory further. Read more

Before television and MTV, the radio was central in the home, a way for the family to gather to hear the news or listen to music. Over 175 images provide an impressive visual journey through the radio’s aesthetic history, reflecting all the major design changes across the years. The images also reveal the diversity of materials, textures, colors, shapes, and sizes of radios of earlier ages. RETRO RADIO ranges from the 1920s tabletop wooden console models in the classic bread box, cathedral, and tombstone styles, to the wooden and early Bakelite and Catalin plastic art deco models of the 1930s to the 1950s, on to the thermoplastic models' cutting-edge styling, and the transistors that ascended to prominence in the 1950s and beyond. Reintroducing machines that few people see anymore and perhaps hardly know existed, this fascinating book restores the once state-of-the-art machines' aesthetic glory. Read more

"Vintage Tape Recorders" tells the story--through original advertisements, company promotional material, and photographs --of America's early professional tape recorders on which hundreds of thousands of recordings were made over the years, as well as commercials, jingles, and on-location projects. Intended as an underground history of old tape machines, the book also features forgotten recording studios and their old gear and unusual recorders. In this over-sized book of 8.5 x 11 inches and 213 pages, you will find tube amps, old microphones, tubes, vibrators, old pro-model tape recorders, mixing boards, and other studio equipment that was once a big part of the audio business from the 1940s to the 1980s. Even old disc cutters and wire recorders are included. Looking for information on vintage equipment? You can find it here--some of it with the original spec sheets and company promotional items that give all the background needed to assess what the recorders were all about. The companies' original dealer materials are large enough for readers to see what made these machines so grand. The recorders include Ampex, Belerant, Scully, Presto, and many others that were used from 1948, when tape machines first started appearing in recording studios, through the 1980s. The book primarily focuses on the 1950s and '60s, when hits came out of dusty little studios in far-out places from Muscle Shoals to Memphis to New Orleans. Here you can find the kind of equipment that was used. The book also features a detailed and personal introduction and a timeline by author and independent record producer Randy McNutt. The book ends with a section called the Magnetic War, a pictorial story of the battle that once raged between the wire recorder and the tape recorder. If you enjoy recording, you will want to browse through the many wonderful advertisements and promotional photos that have been lovingly assembled for this book. Whether your fascination lies with one, two, three, four, eight, sixteen, twenty-four tracks, you can find most of them in "Vintage Tape Recorders."

The book is one in HHP's Vinyl Collector Series that keeps alive America's stories history of music and recording. Others in the series are "Too Hot to Handle," the vintage recording studio book, and "Spinning the Groove," a book filled with the lore and legends of America's old record business. Read more
