Here is a site with a downloadable version of "Elements of Radio Servicing." This is the book that many of us cut our teeth on. It's excellent.

I think an actual class would be an excellent idea. If I could find someone to teach it (paging Mr. Klase) I volunteer to organize it.

There is a book titled "The Vacuum Tube Shortwave Radio" at: http://www. richardmcwhorter.com/ vacuumtuberadio/ which seems to cover the basics. This pdf is 212 pages long and covers theory, repair, alignment and even the re-stuffing of can electrolytic capacitors. It is password protected but the password is prominently displayed on the download page. So those who want to can save the text on their PC and start the ball rolling.
The perfect text has yet to be written but this is available now and it is free. An informal course can be taught using this text as a starting point using an email reflector format just like this club reflector. The only difference is that reflector would be just one ongoing topic on radio repair, circuit theory and "hints and kinks."
Anyone who is interested could join the reflector, this includes both newbies and those with years of experience. There doesn't need to be a formal instructor, we can just go through the text chapter by chapter and any questions can be posted and multiple answers shared.
I for one have never been to an NJARC repair clinic since I live so far away but I would think that the experienced repair people all have methods and short cuts not covered in the above text but are none the less valid and worth sharing within the group.
Thoughts?

Hi Joe
I'd like to take your request and turn it into a suggestion. I also belong
to a car club which periodically holds technical workshops. Perhaps one of
our more experienced members can schedule something similar for all of us on
the subject of radio repair. I would love to join such a meeting to learn
more about the subject. How else can the knowledge be passed along to us
newbies. I've only been a member two years.
Thanks in advance.
