New book written by Nuts & Volts Editor Bryan Bergeron!

Whether you’ve taken a full swig of the vintage “Kool-Aid” or you’ve taken just a sip, you should find this book a fun read and easy to navigate. The contents are presented in five parts: Foundation; Tabletop Broadcast Receivers; Component Stereo Systems; Turntables; and Reel-to-Reel Tape Decks. A summary of each part follows.

Part 1: Foundation – The basics that you’ll need to get the most out of the other sections of this book, including safety and vintage test equipment.

Part 2: Tabletop Broadcast Receivers – Notable products from Germany and the US in the ’50s and ’60s.

Part 3: Component Stereo Systems – McIntosh preamp, receiver, all-tube and all-transistors power amps, and a set of vintage British BC1 stereo speakers.

Part 4: Turntables – We’ll start by restoring an abused belt-driven Thorens TD-125, from building a new plinth to adding an SME 3009 Series II tone arm.

Part 5: Reel-to-Reel Tape Decks – Exemplars from the US, Germany, and Asia, from the ’50s through the ’70s.
