Product Description
Today, most people own their own phones, rather than renting them from the phone company. Many people own inexpensive electronic telephones that are notorious for being unreliable. By being able to fix your own telephone you can avoid the monthly "line maintenance and repair insurance" that the local telephone companies try to sell all their customers. This means you can save much more than the cost of the book by being able to avoid these charges. This guide will take you through beginnning and intermediate levels of telephone repair--including how to work on answering machines, cellular, cordless, electronic, and classic telephones. It also guides you in using test equipment, multimeters, logic probes, oscilloscopes, and specialized equipment.

 Good material December 24, 2007
This book told me what I needed to know. I wanted to be able to troubleshoot some old telephones. I collect old payphones and had a few that didn't work. They do now. I rate the book highly.

I wanted a book with basic information about telephone circuits, especially older classic phones. This one touches on that but really has more information on related topics. There are several chapters on basic electronics repair. The writing style is clean, and easy to read. It is not overly technical and should be easily understood by anyone with even a minimal background in electronics. However, the drawings are not very good. Looks like someone is just learning a computer drawing program. It is disappointing that the classic phone is given a not very useful wiring diagram rather than a schematic. Diacs are shown in the circuits as a "loop length compensator" with no explanation how that works. Very confusing. On the whole though, I would recommend this book. Nice little section on using the oscilloscope.
