Electricity and Electronics, by Newman, is a school-style textbook that you might want to read to buff up on electrical theory.

After that, the Amplifier Design Handbook by Douglas Self might help you understand amplifier theory and circuits, however becoming a good tech will involve more than a few books and websites :-)

Good luck!

The Amplifier Design Handbook will familiarize you enough with amplifier circuits that you should be able to test amplifiers to find the trouble spots, however, in doing so a knowledge of basic electronic principles is necessary.. I'd just pick up the Design Handbook, and if you have any troubles, get a good electricity theory handbook.

I would guess that you are my age or slightly older, thus making you an "old chap" :-)

Where can someone find such books as these? At a place like Barnes and Noble or something?

Give a check and maybe an order,

So you can fix your tape recorder :-)

Just messing around, guys.. gotta lighten the situation up on friday, you know ;-)
