Arvin Model 182TFM Schematic & Parts List

February 1948 Radio News
February 1948 Radio News Cover - RF Cafe[Table of Contents]

Wax nostalgic about and learn from the history of early electronics. See articles from Radio & Television News, published 1919-1959. All copyrights hereby acknowledged.

Arvin Model 182TFM (RadioMuseum.org) - RF CafeThis "drive-by" schematic and parts list for the Arvin Model 182TFM vacuum tube radio appeared in the February 1948 issue of Radio News magazine. I refer to them as "drive-by" because there was no description or maintenance verbiage provided. The Arvin 182TFM is a tabletop radio that covered both AM and FM bands - a relative rarity in the 1940s. The thumbnail at the left is from the RadioMuseum.org website - a great source for research on vintage vacuum tube radios. See also Arvin Radio: A Brief Overview and Historical Context.

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 255 Radio Service Data Sheets as of April 30, 2025.
