Older ARRL Handbooks

All right, I'm hoping someone here can clue me into finding the one(s) I want. What I need is a handbook that has schematics for tube equipment circa the 1960's. I have a boxful of tubes from television sets from that era, and I was hoping I could put together a receiver from some of them. I do have the first volume of Impoverished Radio Experimenter, which talks about using "newer" tubes in older schematics, but the scant few Lindsay talks about aren't among the tubes in my box. I've found a very good used book search engine, but unless I have a better idea of what to look for, It's going to be hit and miss. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Ralph But if you're just looking for projects, any of the magazines would have had plenty, and it's just a matter of picking them from the right years so they not only use tubes, but of the right vintage tubes. And if you can't find old magazines, you can get QST on CDROM, so a volume of that from the right time period would supply plenty of projects. Of course, most of the projects in the Handbook came from QST to begin with, so it's not like you miss much in the project department. Of course, a lot of TV sets were AC/DC, so the filament voltages are all over the map since you'd put them in series to run directly off the AC line. Unless they start with "6" or "12" the tubes may not be so useful. Michael VE2BVW |
