Complete in pdf format, 1952 copyright.
This is what the owner of the site says about the copyright;
- Does it violate copyright law? No. The copyright is 1953 and copyright in Canada lasts for 50 years. That was up in 2003. If someone *had* bought the copyright before then and renewed it, it did not show up on a copyright search I did *before* I added these files here.

Hello,
I just got a copy of the book Basic Elecronics by Van Valkenburgh, Neville and Nooger (all 6 parts in one volume). I have read the power supply section so far, and have found that it has a lot of information and is easy to read. The versio that I have is the British and Commonwealth version, published by the Technical Press in London.
I highly recommend this bok, and it looks like the Librarys in Britain are selling off their copys. I am now on the lookout for Basic Electrics and Basic Solid State Electronics.

Here's a nice one I stumbled on explaining tube theory and a few various articles related to Hi-Fi. http://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/~www_pa/Scots_Guide/audio/Analog.html
I'm a noob myself & just found this howto site - it answers all the questions I couldn't find gathered into one place - gives reasons for the choice of each component in a tube amp design & what values to use & why - excellent!

The DIY section on the Turner Audio site is one of the best online tutorials I've seen in a long time.
Check it out and if it's useful, be sure to thank him.

Hi all.
I think this thread is absolutely great!!!.
Firstly, as has already been said, BEWARE HIGH VOLTAGES!. This can't be stressed enough. The basic kit you need is simple enough. Scope, millivoltmeter, multimeter and signal generator. That's the technical stuff, now the other. Calculator, pencil with sharpener (trust me, you'll need this) and lots of paper. The fundamental in all this is Ohm's law. Work it out first on paper, then attempt to build it. Last 2 pieces of kit that I insist on using. These come from my days as a TV engineer in the 70's. ISOLATING TRANSFORMER AND RUBBER MATTING AROUND THE BENCH. Seems like overkill, but life comes before a quest!!.
If you are interested in any more info then please ask.
Ricky.
