When ya can't squeeze in even one more volume, it's time to 'thin tha 
herd'.  Shipping is additional.

1.  Basic Electronics (Navpers 10087)  blue paperback, 1955.  covers 
all the basics of tube-type stuff, including an introduction to 
radar.	two copies to sell - $1 for the slightly faded one with "W4ZUI"

2.  "Radio" by Keith Henney  © 1947, fifth ed.  fundamentals and 
applications, with tubes.  heavy on the math.  hardbound	$2
3.  Electronics Made Easy, by Lothar Stern.  slim hardback pub'l by 
Popular Mechanics Press in 1956.  Starts with fundaments, then segues 
into tube-type projects like one- and 3-tube receivers & audio eq., 
then a chapter on transistorized projects, from which some nut-job 
sliced out the top of page 163 (crystal rcvr - I think)  lots of 
examples left, however.  slightly crumpled hardback, lower right corner 
appears dog-chewed a bit.	  Has a good, lengthy chapter on (tube) radio 
servicing	$2
4.  1986 ARRL Handbook - large, nice paperback.  still appears to have 
all the circuit layout sheets in the back, tho some were used, then 
taped back in.		$5

1992, 2nd ed. paperback.  Lots of excellent color pictures of table 
(mostly) and floor radios that were restored and auctioned.  Prices out 
of date, of course - may actually be too high!	$3

book - very informative and detailed.  Revised and expanded 2nd ed.	$10

"Vomax" VTVM / signal tracer.  Poor condx - torn and taped.  	25¢
9.  operating instructions booklet for the Measurements sig-gen 78-FM
