3-0 out of 5 stars For British Use Only
The 3-star rating reflects kind of an average between the useability for a British radiophile (probably 5 stars) and a US radiophile (probably 1 star).Though the book is well written and factual, it is written for the British radio enthusiast.Although all radios operate the same in any country, radio models, tubes (valves), test equipment and nomenclature in general are totally different in the UK than in the US.This makes it difficult to translate back and forth and I found myself trying to figure out what a particular term meant or what the equivalent US numbered tube might be.Not a quick read or reference if you're from west of "the pond."

5-0 out of 5 stars From the Publisher
"This book of postcards pictures extraordinary radios of the thirties, forties, and fifties. Philip Collins's superb collection of the colorful gizmos includes many that are drop-dead beautiful and not a few that are deeply peculiar.
5-0 out of 5 stars Incredibly beautiful antique radios to lust over!
If you have one of the antique radios shown in this book, you will want to display it open next to your radio.The photos are absolutely stunning.The book also provides some help in identifying rarely seen radios and how they should look if you have one that's not in good condition.Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive and Entertaining
This is a perfect look back over the decades of Star Trek collectibles and toys. It is well organized. Fans of only one series may go directly thereand concentrate on those items. General Trekkers will enjoy browsingthroughout. It is amazing how many items are listed. It is hard to believea book would be misjudged on the basis of one small line of items so far onthe edge of the field! Get this book!

3-0 out of 5 stars It's a good book but it's not a complete guide !
There are many collectibles listed in this book. Also there are good pictures and descriptions. However, some of the best Star Trek collectibles and memorabilia are the Star Trek Autographed Plaques/Items done by"THE SCORE BOARD, INC.", but unfortunately in this book there arenot informations about them. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars "The" Reference for Hallicrafters products!
My first shortwave receiver, as a 12 year old, was a Hallicafters S-38.I thought it was a really impressive looking radio then and have always loved the hallicrafters looks and the performance of their top end receivers.Chuck Dachis has clearly wrote the most complete reference for all theproducts made by Hallicrafters. As a collector and restorer of tube typeradios the book has been an invaluable reference.The only down sideis I found more models and accessories that I would like to add to mycollection.I would recommend this book to anyone who loves old radios.

5-0 out of 5 stars The Undisputed Bible of Hallicrafters Collectors
For the thousands of shortwave listeners and hams who were introduced to the wonder of radio - this is a book that will re-kindle the wonder.For collectors of vintage TV's, BC table radios and military radios, no otherreference details these rare products.Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Great little primer
Where was this book when I got started?!!Probably the best "first book" for anyone interested in repairing old radios--or just learning about how they work.The book is limited to the All American 5 Superhet radio just as the title says and therefore is highly focused on these radios which make up the bulk of the vintage radios out there today.Too many books try to discuss every old radio type from old TRFs to multi-band consoles and become very tedious and often too general for anything but entertainment.This book gives you just what you need to know (and no more) to get an old AA5 radio to work.You don't get bogged down in complex theory and useless details and history.With this book, a dead AA5 radio, and just a few tools which the author lists, almost anyone with any kind of mechanical ability can have that radio working in no time.Of course much of what you will have learned in this book can be applied to more complex radios as well, since all superhets operate in basically the same way. ...

2-0 out of 5 stars A good start that falls short.
Pepe Tozzo's Retro Electro sounded so cool that I preordered it sight-unseen. A good book on the topic of technostalgia is long overdue and I was eager to see what this self-described "only book to survey the trend" would contain. I now wish I had seen and browsed it beforehand. It's a neatly designed little book with some very nice pictures, but it is just falls too short of my expectations.
2-0 out of 5 stars A moment in time look at only some collectable devices
The book's descriptions of devices are far too short, and the prices it lists were out of date the moment the book went to print. Useless to true collectors, this book will see only limited use as a conversation starter. It'd be a nice thing to leave for guests in the bathroom.

4-0 out of 5 stars Good book that leaves you wanting more
A wonderful look at the electronic marvels we have around the house, along with past playthings long ago left in the dust by ever advancing technologies. My only complaint is that this book barely scratches the surface of what could have / should have been included. Speaking for myself, I would have gladly paid a lot more money to get a book that gave me more to see. As it is, an hour after opening the book, you are done, wishing for more. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars A Must Have for Transistor Radio Collectors
The rather long title says it all. It's a nice collection of transistor radios, their descriptions, price estimates, and hundreds of (mostly black and white) photos. Lots of good history here, along with tips forcollectors. Not as fancy as some of the others, but a classic, and anothermust-have.

5-0 out of 5 stars This is the sole resource for Shortwave Receivers
If you do not already have this book, and have avid interest in communications receivers, shame on you. You have no right to gripe if you are in the dark without the info. Fred needs to come out with a new edition soon. A bargain at the price. A must have, what else is there to say?

5-0 out of 5 stars Receivers Guide
The Shortwave Receivers Past & Present: Communications Receivers 1942-1997 is an excellent resource book for collectors and those interested in used radios. There are pictures specs and evaluations of hundreds for the shortwave radios in this era.If you are in the market for a used receiver or a collector this is an invaluable resource. Also provided is a realistic pricing of the true value of each receiver as well as a 1 to 5 star evaluation based on the author's many years in the hobby.5-0 out of 5 stars Some receivers is missing, but you can help!
Yes, this is a catalog of base receivers, 1945-now. Osterman provides many useful informations, and if it may be true that some informations may not be useful to an european reader (e.g. the 'used' prices), you wil not findelsewhere a so comprehensive guide. Another book will be dedicated toportable sw radios. Osterman is not God, so many data are provided by thereaders: it's the way the informations flow in the scientific communities,why not here? If you are an european reader, and you know somethingOsterman does not, write him. I've done so, and a new chapter in thisedition was added with the informations I retrieved. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Turn on to this radio book.
A wonderful pictorial book about transistor radios, 175 of them, not only photographed but put in the context of fifties and sixties design. The spread on 60-61 shows six radios mixed with close-up photos of chrome styling from fifties cars. I loved the chapter on design with its photos of grills and lettering, even a spread on 9-volt batteries.3-0 out of 5 stars made in japan
This is an excellently photographed book with upbeat and "time related" narrative on the subject. Unfortunately for those interested in the history or actual dates of when each of these radios were issued the reader will have to guess. Somewhere between 1950 & 1960. Not a great resource for someone starting a collection or trying to date that artifact found in your attic.

5-0 out of 5 stars Radio Sex?
This is possible the only radio book, that, when left out on a coffee table, will start a conversation with non-collectors. But I advise against leaving your only copy on display, since it might get stolen. The layout and photos in this collaboration turn already beautiful radios into nearlysexual fetishes. Nice historical information, and an intriguing layout makethis true eye candy. .... Find one forthe coffee table, and another to hide away someplace safe! Printed inJapan. ... Read more
