Learn-at-Home
correspondence courses for a career in electronics maintenance and repair was a
big deal throughout most of the last century. Similar training was offered
by many other trades, such as automobile / aircraft engine repair, plumbing,
HVAC, electrical wiring / control / motors, small appliance repair, watch /
clock repair, etc. Many moons ago (c.1985) I took an electronics course from
National Radio Institute. It included a few pieces of test equipment which
required building and aligning, including a digital multimeter, signal
generator, and a
10 MHz bandwidth oscilloscope. I still have many of the
electronic components - lights, inductors, switches, transistors, ICs, diodes,
capacitors, solderless breadboard, terminal strips - that came with it for
experimentation. This particular course in the December 1954 issue of Radio
News magazine offered instruction in television repair - a relatively new
field in the day.
