An e-book by Chris Parry, BSc, G8JFJ
Introduction
Chris Parry has been an enthusiastic collector and restorer of valve radios of all types for many years, and has worked for UK companies that manufactured communications receivers. He is keen to pass on some of his experience to others wishing to restore complex valve radios and so has written copious notes on all aspects of the topic in an e-book format. Much of the material is, of course, relevant to restoring any type of radio.
He wants the book to be freely available to anyone interested so that as much equipment as possible can be retained in good working order for the future.

The Book
The book contains 120 pages of text and is in three formats, PDF for computer use, MOBI for Kindle and EPUB for other e-book readers. It may be updated from time to time.
Over 140 photographs cross referenced to points in the book are available in the Photo Gallery, where the number of the photo corresponds to the same number in the text.
Full descriptions of each photo are also listed in the book’s table of contents. The photos are not accessible from E-readers unless they have normal internet access. It is impractical to include these in the book itself as they are of high definition and in any case readers are only likely to want to view those relating to a current project.
Direct links in the text were considered but it was felt that the maintenance would be fairly time consuming due to regular updates when no charge is made for the book.
