Hood's Finds builds reference material for people who actually put a soldering iron to a board: CB and ham radio operators, amplifier builders, antenna experimenters, and the stubborn minority who would rather understand a circuit than replace it.
What these guides are
Original work. Every build volume is researched, written and drawn here - full SVG schematics, real parts lists, bias and tune-up procedures, and the troubleshooting sections most guides leave out. The build guides are not scanned manuals and not reprints.
How they work
Most titles are HTML pages you open in your web browser; a few reference titles are PDF files. Nothing to install, no account to sign into, and no subscription. The files are yours to keep - put a copy on a laptop, a USB stick or a disc for the bench.
On the tribute volumes
The Builder Tribute series documents the work of builders who shaped this hobby. Hood's Finds is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or speaking for any of them. These are educational tributes, written with respect for people who did the original work.
Safety
A good deal of this material involves high voltage. The guides carry safety information throughout, but they are reference documents, not supervision. If you are not confident working around plate voltages, do not.
