Crosley Model 6625 Console Radio (Craigslist images) - RF CafeI originally stated that I could not find a single photograph of a Crosley 6625, 3-band radio. However, RF Cafe visitor Bruce C. read that and sent me a link to his Crosley Model 6625 being advertised for sale in the Boston area on Craigslist (for $350 - click here to view it). A couple images of it can be seen by clicking on the thumbnail. The Radio Service Data Sheet was part of a group of six such instances that appeared in the June 1936 issue of Radio-Craft magazine.

Crosley Model 6625 6-Tube 3-Band Receiver Radio Service Data Sheet, June 1936 Radio-Craft - RF Cafe

Ranges: 540 to 1,800 kc., 1,800 to 6,000 kc., 5,800 to 18,500 kc.: 685 output.

All measured on 117.5 V. line with 1,000 ohms-per-volt meter on 500 V. scale, and receiver in operation with no input signal. All heater voltages are 6.3, except V6 which is 4.9 V. Readings may vary plus or minus 10 per cent of values given.

For alignment, a meter must be connected between the plates of V 5 with a paper condenser of at least 0.1-mf. in series. The I.F. amplifier is aligned at 450 kc. with the lead from the service oscillator connected to the grid cap through a 0.02-mf. condenser, the grid clip being left in place. Turn the station selector to about 60 on the broadcast band, and the tone control to the left. Adjust trimmers C12 and C13 for maximum output. Transfer service oscillator lead to cap of V1, close C10 on I.F.T. 1 so that it is moderately tight, and adjust C11 for best as follows: Adjust C9 similarly, then place lead from service oscillator to antenna post. Do not readjust Cl1. Set C10 to position of best output, and do not change C9 or C11.

Radio Service Data Sheets

These schematics, tuning instructions, and other data are reproduced from my collection of vintage radio and electronics magazines. As back in the era, similar schematic and service info was available for purchase from sources such as SAMS Photofacts, but these printings were a no-cost bonus for readers. There are 227 Radio Service Data Sheets as of December 28, 2020.
