[Hallicrafters] Book by Marcus and Lavy

I found one on AddAll for about $12 a couple of years ago.  The lowest cost copy there now is $25.

The absolute best resource I have is a book from the 40s or 50s called
"Practical Radio Servicing" by 

William Marcus and Alex Levy 

The book walks you through circuit theory and trouble shooting by each
section of a tube radio. It explains what a part does, how it does it and
what symptoms are exhibited when the part is bad. It is not aimed at an
engineer but at the normal guy who might be trying to fix a radio 

The book starts at the AF output and works its way back. 

They show up on ebay from time to time and at radio shows. I strongly
recommend it. I only wish they had done a similer book for transmitters.
