The Parts That Make Up a Tube Radio - Tube Radio Restoration Back to Basics part 1

I initially learnt about restoring tube radios by watching Youtube videos produced by some really knowledgeable creators, who selflessly shared their extensive knowledge on the subject with enthusiast like myself. My education in Electronics is from the era of the integrated circuit, so, while I had the theory, my experience with tubes was non-existent.
Having posted over a thousand videos on the subject, I recently found myself glancing over details during the various stages of the procedure, assuming the viewer knew what I was talking about, rather than actually explaining the process. This is something that used to annoy me when I was starting out, so I was becoming guilty of doing precisely that which hindered my learning experience at the outset.
The purpose of this series is to go back to the basics, explain in detail every step of the procedure. My hope is that it serves as a reference for those who are starting out in this fantastic hobby, and encourages many to try it out for themselves. Whether I achieve my goal is uncertain, but I'm going to give it a try.

I hope you enjoy the series, and invite you to comment.
