ORIGINAL 1939 BOOK "SERVICING BY SIGNAL TRACING" By: JOHN F.RIDER Let me start by saying I'm not a book collector, nor do I understand the Grading System used for old books. Any statements I use are that of my own opinion. If you're into fixing old tube radio or other vintage electronics, this is a must have reference book for your shelf. John F. Rider is the "Guru" of technical knowledge for these items. He has written many books of various topics of this era of technology. Most are not being reprinted, so don't miss this opportunity to get one of his books. And one that is in such nice condition. About this book T is no dust cover with this book, but is only slightly worn on a few corners. T is no writing in the book and no dog-eared pages. It is in great condition. I tookl a picture of the inside page of the book, because, without the dust cover, the picture would be nothing more than a blue rectangle. is a breakdown of the chapters: CHAPTER 1 - WHAT IS MEANT BY SIGNAL TRACING The Signal Is the Common Denominator, Operating Voltages and Resistances Are Not Fundamental, The Advantages of Signal Tracing, Functional or Dynamic Test During Operation, Independent of Tube Types, Independent of Circuit Design, Control Voltage Testing, Audio Circuits. CHAPTER 2 - SIGNAL AMPLIFICATION Types of Amplifiers, Amplifying Property of the Vacuum Tube, Plate Current Plate Resistance, Mutual Conductance, Process of Amplification, Plate- Current Variation and Signal Voltage, Phase Relations, Tetrode and Pentode Amplifiers, Factors Controlling Amplification, Transfer of Signal Voltage from Triode Tube to Load, Amplification in Tetrodes and Pentodes, Series and Parallel Connection of Load Impedances, Signal Distribution In Voltage Amplifiers, Amplification in Tube and Transformer, Audio-Frequency Amplifiers, Defective Amplifier Operation, Distortion, Multi Stage Voltage Amplifiers, Signal Tracing in Power Amplifiers, Coupling to Speaker, Signal Levels, Push-Pull Operation, Classes of Amplifiers, Class B Amplifier. CHAPTER 3 - DETECTION CIRCUITS The Diode Detector, Typical Diode Detector, Contact Potential, Full-Wave Detector Circuit, Capacity-Coupled Diode, Triode and Multi-Element Detectors, The Linear or Plate Detector, Tetrode and Pentode Detectors, The Grid-Leak Detector, Infinite Impedance Detector, Diode and Multi-Element Detectors.
