Dean's Electronics

Dean's Electronics is a book written for amateur electricians in the 21st century. On the book's cover, there is the picture of a light bulb in a circle lying atop various electrical diagrams. People used this book for learning the field of electronics and repairing electrical equipment. These books are used in the Vault-Tec Vaults.

An image of this book is copied onto a slide for the Vault Dweller's Survival Guide. The identifying number is VDSG Plate #138-29.

Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics
Copies of Dean's Electronics are very easy to come by, and the game helpfully provides a few at certain Repair check locations. Reading them will boost your Repair skill a little, until you reach 92%. At that point, they will have no further effect.

Fallout 3
When the player's character reads the book, the repair skill increases by one point. If the player has chosen Comprehension, the repair skill increases by two points.

Behind the scenes
The name Dean possibly came from Richard Dean Anderson of MacGyver. Apparently this is a tribute to his excellent skills at tinkering with things.
