John F. Rider 1900-1985 W2RID - CEO of John F. Rider Publications.

Publisher/engineer/writer of radio/electronic textbooks and the famous “How To”

electronic series. Who can ever forget “Riders Perpetual Troubleshooter’s Manual” 23

Volumes from 1919 until 1954. A must for every Radio/TV repair shop and electronics bench worldwide.This valuable assembly of data contained schematics and entire circuit identification, also parts replacement listings over every radio and TV/record changer made from Day 1 - It is said this series is

the largest and most definitive collection of radio information

ever assembled on antique radios of the period.  John F. Rider was a natural teacher who rose to become one of the biggest

names in electronics publishing during the golden age of the vacuum tube. Rider’s stature in publishing would rank alongside Hugo Gernsback and Howard W. Sams. All three managed, in their own way, to be at once technical yet

popular. Rider in particular, has the trademark down to earth teaching

style. Rider invented the all purpose instrument “Rider Chanalyst” in

1938. RCA would purchase the rights from Rider and shifted operations to

Camden, NJ. What Rider accomplishes in his publications, is to make electronics

accessible and even fun. Rider had the same success in the U.S. Army during WWII and his teaching and publications trained many thousands of technicians in the radio field.

ALL THE MODELS LISTED ARE ON THIS DVD  1000's Of  Pages of Information These Schematics Cover cover many Tube type  Radios, Auto , Automotive, some TV,s Small Radio Sets, Shortwave, Police Band, Vibrator Type Sets, Power supply , Battery Sets,  This is a wealth of information for any Radio wanting to be repaired or parting out.

These Schematics show how to troubleshoot all the tubes and how to bring A non-working unit back to life, even if you can not read these schematics or Diagrams they are invaluable to a Service Technician working on a Older Unit. Plate Voltages are shown, Capacitor and resistor Values are show if one is Burned up or missing. All Tube Numbers are shown if a tube is missing. Speaker Field resistance values are shown to aid in troubleshooting the Speaker and Sound output. This is a High Quality, Easy to read re-production from Original Schematics.
