  • Basic Electronic Info for Troubleshooting and Repair

    This is a great book on understanding basic electronics with the intent on troubleshooting and repair. The information is presented for the beginner, the hobbyist, as well as the experienced. It walks readers through logical troubleshooting and provides tidbits that may take a person years of experience to learn. Need to figure out if you really need expensive electrical test equipment? The book provides basic explanations on use and where its needed. The book has most modern electronics covered, but obviously not the latest and greatest. A great reference book if you plan on fixing vintage electronics that may have value.
