Repair book recommendations?

Howdy. Can anyone recommend a good book for tv repair for starters? It's just interesting to me and I would like to get into it a bit more.

 

Thanks, Keith

OH lots and lots of good

OH lots and lots of good stuff!  There don't seem to be nearly as many TV repair books for modern solid state TVs as I recall for old tube sets. Here are a couple which you may find (or its predecessor) at your local public library (621.384 if you library is numbered that way) or a technical book store.    I have these and are very informative.

  • Troubleshooting and Repairing Solid State TVs
    Homer L. Davidson
    2nd Edition, 1992 (The 1st edition is also useful)
    TAB Books, Inc.
    Blue Ridge Summit, PA 17214
  • Lenk's Television Handbook: Troubleshooting and Repair
    John D. Lenk
    McGraw Hill, 1994
    ISBN 0-07-037517-8
  • Color and Black & White Television Theory and Servicing
    Alvin A. Liff and Sam Wilson.
  • Basic Television Principles & Servicing
    Bernard Grob
  • Complete TV Servicing Handbook

  • Troubleshooting and Repair Guide to TV
