Supreme Publications was another of the more prominent publishers of electronic equipment service manuals back in the middle of the last century. Howard W. Sams Photofact was of course the most well-known, but there were others including this one and Rider Service Manuals. Supreme Publications claims their content is provided by the manufacturers; to wit, " factory instructions for troubleshooting, repairing, and alignment." For a mere $2.00, a service shop could have the required data to service every AM and FM radio and television receiver produced for model year 1948, when this issue of Radio News magazine was published. According to the BLS Inflation Calculator, that's the equivalent of $24.56 in 2022 - a pretty good deal. A version of the manual with extra diagrams could be had for an additional 50¢.
