Looking for a good book on tube amp repair; I can read wiring diagrams, but obviously need more info. I have a Twin to repair and some other projects. I'm a tech type, I understand the dangers and such, capacitors and sll, but because I do, I realize I need more information. A search didn't yield much. Thanks!

Thanks for the link, Bob. the old link was dead. O first downloaded that and make a book from it. Later I bought the book, as it has a ton of schematics.

Gerald Weber has another handy book, lot sof good ideas in it as well.
