Making and Repairing Transistor Radios, by W. Oliver
: A practical British handbook on building and servicing transistor sets, by W. Oliver. Illustrated, with circuits, alignment, fault-finding and cabinet work. A period workshop book rather than a collector s radio.In nice condition for some 56 years old
Making and Repairing Transistor Radios by W. Oliver is a hands-on guide from the years when portable transistor sets were replacing valves on the bench. It covers how transistors differ from valves, simple receiver circuits, construction methods, VHF transistor receivers, tuned-circuit alignment, worthwhile and not-worthwhile repairs, testing, power supplies, and cases and cabinets.
Oliver also wrote Foulsham wireless guides, including the earlier Making and Repairing Radio Sets. This transistor title was issued by W. Foulsham & Co., ISBN 0 572 00720 5, about 126 pages, illustrated, and catalogued around 1970. The diagrams are teaching circuits, not full construction blueprints, so the book sits with other period service and hobby manuals rather than with rare first editions.
Useful to anyone restoring 1960s and 1970s portables, or collecting British radio literature of that date.
