Go to your local electronics store and get "The RCA Receiving Tube Manual"
(I've still seen them around although RCA no longer makes tubes).

Other possible sources of information is to go to your local library and
look up the "electronics section".  If your library is anything like most I've
seen, their electronics is about 20 years behind and will be full of 
tube "theory of operation".

Another idea:  Get a copy of the ARRL (American Radio Relay League) handbook
dated in the 50's or 60's.  There's lots of info. about tubes in them.

Have fun,

Barry (tubes are "real electronics") Fowler
