From an AI overview: "Practical Test Instruments You Can Build (1974), edited by amateur radio pioneer Wayne Green, is a classic TAB Books manual. It provides schematics and instructions for DIY electronics hobbyists to assemble their own diagnostic tools. The book focuses on budget-friendly circuits that can be built using readily available components. The book is divided into distinct sections, each focusing on specific categories of electronic measurement:Semiconductor Test Devices Transistor Checkers: Switching devices and circuits designed to measure fundamental transistor parameters using a standard VOM (Volt-Ohm-Milliammeter).Diode Checkers: Simple rigs to quickly verify semiconductor polarity and health.Measuring Volts, Ohms, and RF WattsImpedance Multipliers: Circuits that adapt your existing VOMs for higher resistance reading capabilities. Low-Ohm Meters: Dedicated setups for measuring fractional resistance with high accuracy. RF Power and Voltage: Multiple builds for measuring High-Frequency (RF) power, including hot-carrier-diode milliwattmeters, relative RF power meters, and 100-watt dummy loads.VTVMs: Vacuum Tube Voltmeters specifically designed for high-impedance DC measurements.Useful Test & Measurement CircuitsPower & Timing: Regulated power sources for ICs (Integrated Circuits) and solid-state 10-minute timers.Frequency & Crystals: Crystal testers, markers, calibrators, and circuits designed to measure the resonant frequency of unmarked crystals.Coil Testers: Tools to evaluate Coil Q (Quality Factor).Alignment & Counters: FM/AM transmitter-receiver alignment tools and IC-based electronic counters.".

Store description
About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail order catalogue, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you want to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.…
