I have been scanning and posting many "Radio Service Data Sheets" like this one featuring the Arvin Model 6 under-dash car radio in graphical format, but have not yet run OCR on them to reproduce the textual content for search purposes. I could not locate an example of a restored model. Radio−Craft magazine and others published many of these for the sake of hobbyists and commercial repair shops that could not afford to pay for subscriptions to services such as Sams Photofact. Manufacturers usually would not provide service data to non-representatives. There are still many people who restore and service these vintage radios, and often it can be difficult or impossible to find schematics and/or tuning information. See the running list of all data sheets posted thus far at the bottom of the page.

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.

About RF Cafe Copyright: 1996 - 2024 Webmaster: Kirt Blattenberger, BSEE - KB3UON RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived...
