I just acquired a near-mint copy of the 1968 RSGB (Radio Society of Great Britain) Radio Communication Handbook. What a treasure! Should be required reading by every electronics person.

I shall repair to my lair and peruse.

The 1968 edition still had info and pictures of those glassy glowie thingies :)

PCBs were not used for everything.
Things were different.

Thank you beenthere! It is a link to a film of a man making vacuum tubes by hand.

I looked for a Youtube link so I could download it.

Found this info.
"Someone has informed me that this man's name is Claude Paillard. They also told me that he is a French amateur radio operator and he has a website! The address to his website is:"

http://paillard.claude.free.fr/

Edit: You can download it as one file (mp4) from his site.
I guess all of this is in the other thread. :-(
