2133.0. "Books:Tube amp repair?" by MOOV02::DERRICO (Stuck between Iraq & a hard place) Mon Mar 04 1991 15:08

       Does anyone know of any books dealing with guitar
    "Tube-amp" repair? I think that I saw one many years ago.
    
    Thanks for your help!

	I have one called "Guitar Amplifier Handbook" by Jack Darr.
    I can give you the ISBN number, though I doubt it's in print or
    whatever.

    I have that book too.  It's no longer in print.  The text is so-so,
    but it's full of good, old, schematics.  If you find a copy, or can get
    one copied, do it.  I'll help if ya need it.

	I called Stewart McDonald's to buy their The Tube Amp Book II and found
that they were out of stoclk and won't have anything 'til May (apparently the
book is being revised).

	Does anyone know of another place to buy one of these?

      I'm 99% sure my copy of Groove Tubes Amp Book III is wrapped and
    under my Christmas tree. I always ask my wife for stuff like that. 
    I think I also got the Reb Beach video cuz she knows I like his
    playing! I can see it now, I'll be reading my book during Christmas
    dinner!

    I thumbed through a copy at the Arlington guitar show. It looked
    pretty much like the previous edition. It had the same Introductions
    and discussion in the front, along with the same glossy photos.
    I did'nt really look carefully to see what schematics had been added.
    It seemed to be the same thickness.
