Farnsworth EK-081, EK-082 Radio-Phono, Sams Photofact

These schematics & parts lists for the Farnsworth models EK-081, EK-082, EK-083, EK-681 radio-phonograph were scanned from a 1947 issue of Radio News magazine. Most often a description of the radio's tuning procedure would be included a la an abbreviated version of the Sams Photofacts data, but sometimes only bare bones information was provided. Still, service shops and hobbyists appreciated having it made available because manufacturers usually only provided service information to authorized dealers. In the days of Internet, locating such things could prove nearly impossible. 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. I keep a running list (see below) of all data sheets to facilitate a search.

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.
