The VTVM, by Rhys Samuel
« on: November 30, 2009, 09:58:57 am »
I was cleaning up some stuff in my shop and found a working Heathkit VTVM im-11 that belonged to my father in law.  Anyone know where I might find a copy of The VTVM, by Rhys Samuel?  Or know of other good VTVM books?

I see you read the recommendation on the Tone Lizard website, too...

I haven't been able to find a copy of it either, except on ebay. And that one was hotly contested by a number of other people who obviously had seen the same recommendation.

I've never actually seen it or read it, so I can't tell you if it's a good book. If I found a copy, I'd buy it just on the chance that it might be good.

Google works fine. Here's a free copy...

A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!

That's some good searching Sluckey - I googled it earlier and didn't find that download hence my post - thank you.
