Whether your like me having started out with tube technology, valuing old knowledge, enjoy getting back to basics, into restoring antique electronics, or just curious where everything came from, you'll appreciate this link:
http://www.tubebooks.org/technical_books_online.htm
Categories include: General Electrical Engineering Books and Textbooks (pre-1964), Audio (hi-fi, amplifiers, speakers...), Radio (transmitters, receivers, design, repair...), Vacuum Tube theory & circuit design, Test & Measurement (equipment, instructions...), Passive components (transformers, capacitors...), and Other (transistors, tape recorders, odd stuff...)
Of particular note are two editions of the ARRL Radio Amateur's Handbook from 1936 and 1941 plus similar texts.
For anyone worried about downloading any of these texts, the maintainer of the site is only hosting texts which have not had their copyrights renewed.
