And, like all collector books, you'll find info on some radios not mentioned in other books. This book may be out of print, but my local library has a copy, and yours might, too. Written in the late 1970s, it's an excellent practical guide to repairing old radios, written in a folksy tone. An extensive guide to European radios, published in French. I don't really read French, but I love paging through this book to savor all the unusual shapes and designs.
Many European radios resemble their North American cousins.
But others explore very different, sometimes startling, directions. I could go on, but I think you get my drift. If this luscious art book doesn't convince you to collect transistor radios, nothing will. It's a visual feast, highlighting the many novel and charming designs from the golden age of shirtpocket transistors. My little Zephyr AR-600 transistor appears on pages 93 and 94.
