Yep - Morgan Jones is the book. I also like Crowhurst "Understanding HiFi
Circuits", Audio Amateur Press, which is a model of clear writing. Excellent on
what he covers.

Many thanks Nick and Andy - I've put it (Jones) on my sister's xmas list
:-). Now that I'm 'outed' they can start to save for all the other
paraphernalia - oscilloscope, meters, soldering iron. Beats socks!
(although I gather gloves are needed?!).

Just one thing to remember. When working on live valve circuits, keep
one hand in the pocket at all times. Crepe-soled shoes are a help,
too. (I know, that's two things). I found all that out the hard way in
my early days of design.

Just one more thing - don't hit the 500VDC supply with a spanner while
hanging onto the metal rack with the other hand. You travel a long
way, and you don't find the spanner again.
