VWACUUM TUBES
by Robert B. Tomer
Vacuum Tubes—The Important
4/5ths of Electronic Circuits
Over 80% of all electronic equipment defects
result, directly or indirectly, from tube fail-
ures. Why do tubes fail? What can be done to
prevent them from failing before their time?
How can you determine whether a tube is good
or bad, or how well and how long it will work
in a given circuit? Should tubes be replaced
periodically, whether they’ve failed or not . . .
or should they be tested every so often, and
replaced if indications show them to be below
par? This book supplies the answers to these
profound questions . . . plus many, many more.

From Backstage
Author “Bud” Tomer, an international author-
ity on tubes, is well-known for his candid
“Tech Tip” bulletins and his slide-film pre-
sentations to service, military and engineer-
ing groups. Within these covers you'll find
a virtual encyclopedia on vacuum tubes—yet.
the author has not delved into mathematical
details that would be of interest to only a few
tube engineers. Everything is focused toward
the interest of those who use tubes—either for
replacement purposes or in original equipment.
designs.
In his refreshing, down-to-earth style,
Mr. Tomer sheds a bright light on such areas
as, “Why so many tube types?” “What About
Tube Testers?” etc.
