Offered here is a scarce early edition: John F. Rider's original Trouble Shooter's Manual, Volume II, "The Service Man's Manual," copyright 1929 by Radio Treatise Company, New York City. This predates the better-known "Perpetual Trouble Shooter's Manual" series (with its distinctive transmission-tower cover) by several years, making it an earlier and harder-to-find piece for serious collectors of Rider's radio service literature.

Contents cover foundational early-radio service topics: service procedure, vacuum tube testing, operating systems, aerial systems, A and B battery eliminators and their troubleshooting, along with period schematics for sets such as RCA and Radiola models.

Condition: Sold as-is. Cover shows wear consistent with age (this book is nearly a century old), with light soiling and a small mark on the front board. Text block appears complete and legible. Please review all photos closely, as they are part of the description.

FREE Shipping: Ships via USPS Media Mail.  .
