[Vintage-Radio] Tube Substitution book

[William R Colbert]

One that I use and have had for years, but don't
know if still in publication is Master Tube Substitution
Handbook by Tab Editorial Staff, TAB Books,

I don't know if TAB has come out with any updated 
versions or not.  But I have been using this one for years
as I sort thru tubes for glowbug and boatanchor equipment
over the past years.  It has no technical specs but does have
the tube base diagram.  It lists the preferred substitution and
a good substitution in a separate column.  It also has a section
for monochrome and colour picture tube substitutions.  
The sections of the book are:

Receiving and Transmitting tubes, 
Foreign Tubes
Commercial and Industrial Tubes
B&W and Color CRTs
Base Diagrams.

Hope that helps and you have good luck in locating the
book, if this is the type for which you are looking.
