So many people ask the question: “What can I do
about my Radio, I do not know one iota about it and if
the Service Man says that I need this and that done,
all I can do is say well if that will fix it go ahead I
would like to be able in the future wherever I gp to
have some check on this item my self but how can I
when I don’t even know what’s in a Radio, much- less
what each fixture should cost. Isn’t there some way
that I can get some idea what I am about whenever I
have my Radio worked on?”

Yes there is! Here are just a few main points:
Don’t just grab your Radio and haul it into the first
shop with a sign that says Radios Fixed, etc. But
make an appointment with a good well-known Service
Man whose honor and integrity you have faith in and
certainly one whose interest is in the field of Radio not
just his occupation at the time. If he cannot accom-
modate you at present the wait will be worth the time.
Don’t barge into his workshop and throw the machine
on the stack and say I’ll pick it up some time later.
When you bring the Radio make every effort to learn
something about it while he is dis-assembling it. Ask
questions when you don’t know what he is doing. Why
shouldn’t you know something about this business of
your own radio? Pick up everything you can in the
way of information on your own particular model.
Learn how to remove and replace the tubes correctly
and sometime at your convenience place a little identi-
fying mark on each. Observe how your Radio is ser-
viced in systematic fashion or cut and try methods.
Never allow the latter for good reasons. Know the
reason for each maneuver and manipulation Try to
learn the reason and function of each part in your
particular model. The things you learn will surprise
you and you should know at a glance what each item
on your bill means. The man who services your Radio
if he is on the level will appreciate such interest on
your part and he will, always be pleased to show you
and to know that you too are interested.
