C: Abebooks has the 2nd edition. I'm not a total retard. I remember seeing it on a
library shelf a very long time ago and always wanted a copy of _that_.
I didn't want to give away that that edition had a test pattern on the cover. I was
hoping to hear from someone who had it. I should try another forum I guess.
Not sure what response I'd get if I asked Abe to describe the cover for me. It sounds
like he's old enough to know what a test pattern is, if that's the case.
There's another ooooold book that was in the college library that had a pullout
schematic of a tv receiver. I'm too tired and lazy to search (or find out if it's
still in the library). Dated from the 50s unless I'm mistaken. It was a book on radio
theory, yet dipped into television. Very cool.
I remember driving upstate NY and stopping in thrift stores and whatnot, late 80s early
90s. Those old texts could be had for a song. Not so sure these days. But now and again I
still find old electronic books or machinist manuals and such.
