I picked up the latest white covered one today at the local SS affiliate location, time to settle in to some reading & learning! Make sure the last numbered page is 325 so that it includes the entire Index. Early copies were missing those last pages. Yes indeed, this does have p325 stops at let...

Thanks Ed

I'm curious about a simple topic. My SS 510 came with a lot of SPT and a lot of accessories, supplies and reams of manuals for reading/course materials etc. It did not however come with the reference book PTWFE. I have browsed through Everett's digital '53/'55 version but would like to purchase the ...
