Wax nostalgic about and learn from the history of early electronics. See articles from Radio & Television News, published 1919-1959. All copyrights hereby acknowledged.

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.
