Information and service data - 1915 - 1980

We have information in different part of this website.  This page allows you to do a database search for manufacturers names, model number, and descriptive data. (See the search buttons below ON THIS PAGE)

We also have a flea-market section where you can just scroll a list of stuff we have for sale.  Click here to get to this list.

We have a list of recent acquisitions that we haven't had time to put into the database and you can view this list by clicking here . . . .

We have new books about antique radio . . . click here

We have old books about antique radio . . . click here

We also have over 1/2 million schematics from service manuals by John Rider, Service Manual Series, Bietman and Gernsback.  You can get more info on what we have below ON THIS PAGE and can order schematic in several places on this page.

You can search our database of over 40,000 manuals and schematic information by entering information in the form below.  You need to make sure your spelling is correct but you do not have to have the full or proper name of what you are entering as it will look for "EXACTLY" what you enter in either (NOT BOTH) of the data entry fields below.  Example:  Entering the letters fis will return "FISHER" from Fisher Radio fame.  The first data field is generally the name of the manufacturer or trade name of the item and in some cases will be the name of the author of a book, ie, "Chapman" in A. Chapman who wrote the Radio Boys series books.  

If you do not find a schematic diagram you are looking for with the search, this does not mean we do not have it.  Scroll further down this page for how you can get the schematic that you need from our archives of over 1/2 million schematic diagrams.

We have a lot of listings with no manufacturers name, author of model, but there is a lot of descriptive information in the "Description" area of the database.  Just as an example, if you were interested in finding out something about old hi-fidelity enclosures, just put the word "enclosure" in the Description field and see what you get.  You don't even have to completely spell it, because the letters "encl" will give you the same results as the complete word.

You will see category information:  SER=Service manual, OM=Owners Manual, SCH=Schematic, OM/SCH=Owners Manual w/schematic, if you have any questions about the various categories, please ask.

Service Information

We have amassed approximately 1,000,000 schematic diagrams available in this category of antique radios as well as nearly 100,000 manuals and other old radio related information.  We get inquiries from people about old radios that generally fall into the following examples:

A.  I need a schematic.  I know the name of the manufacturer and a model number and/or chassis number.  If you fit into this category and you are ready to order click the "add to the cart" button at the bottom of this paragraph and fill in the information blank.  The cost for a Riders schematic is $ 10.00.  If your radio was made after 1945, we may have the schematic in our Service Sets and the cost is $ 13.95 up but this is a highly preferable schematic compared to the older ones in Riders.   Service Sets are only available for radios built in and after 1946.  You do not need to fill in any of the blank forms below.  When you order, you will put in the information in the spaces provided and that is all we need to process your order.  To order, fill in the information about the make and model and chassis number if there is one.

I think my radio is before 1946 . . . I want to order a Riders schematic.  I understand that the Rider's schematics are $ 7.00 each and there is a minimum order of $ 10.00.

But a lot of people fall into the following categories with their old radios . . . . 

B. I have an old radio, don't know who made it, don't know how old it is, can't find a model number, or some variety of these factors.  If you don't know who made it, we are immediately in trouble.  If you provide us with the tube types and the number of each type, we can provide a search for the proper schematic.  The same scenario is applicable if you know who made it but don't know the model number.  We generally can find a proper schematic if you will provide us as much information as possible about the radio.  The cost for a search is  $ 18.00. See more detailed information about schematic searching here.  But you will have to drop down on this page and fill in all of 

C. I have an old battery radio.  I know the name of the manufacturer, but there is no model number.  Because there were many, many radios built from available radio parts in the 1920's, many of these had very limited production and even some were one of a kind.  There are perhaps dozens of brand names of old battery sets that simply have NO SCHEMATICS available.  We have a Rider's manufacturers list below on this page and you can scan this list to see if your radio is listed.  We can usually find a schematic that matches the tubes but it might not match exactly your specific radio.  Interestingly enough, radio technology in the 20's was not rocket science so the circuits were similar between designs and in any event, all manufacturers had to match their circuits up to the operating characteristics of the tubes that were common in all radios.  If you don't want us to do a search, you can do one yourself.  We have prepared a collection of 100 old battery set schematics from the Riders collection.  Based on the fact that these old radios were not too sophisticated, you can generally find a schematic that will match or come close to matching your set.  This is our publication R1791 and the cost is         $ 18.00

Quantity:
    

The cost for a search is also $ 18.00 for a Rider Search. See more detailed information about schematic searching here.  You can order at any time in the left margin or bottom of any page but remember to drop down to the information entry form at the bottom this page and let us know everything about your specific radio so we can do the best we can to match its characteristics! 

E-MAIL SCHEMATICS 
(Click here for an interesting testimonial about an E-Mail Manual)

We can E-Mail your schematic to you anywhere in the world at no extra charge for our Riders schematics.  We can also E-Mail a Service Manual or schematic but there is a  $ 3.00 extra charge because most of these schematics have not yet been digitized and there is a process that we have to go through to copy the schematic pages, then scan and store it, then convert to an E-Mail.  We send these to you as an E-Mail attachment as a convenience to you or in case that you are in a big hurry to get the schematic.   Most E-Mail schematics will get to your email box the same day you order.  As of 2007, we are sending email manuals and schematics using Adobe's PDF file format.  A free browser is always available to view and print these digital documents.  Look what Mark Mokris of Michigan says about our email schematic service on 8/10/99, 

"Thanks again for the schematic for the Philco 41-255. I still can't believe I can call you up and receive a schematic of a 1940 vintage radio by email. Everyone I tell about it is amazed too."  Need we say more? . . .

If your radio was made between 1946 and 1952, we may be able to provide a Riders schematic for it.  However most service people like the Service schematics better than Riders. Iif your radio schematic is available after 1946 and is available in our Service Schematic Sets,  we will automatically upgrade your request to this schematic, but rest assured, that the extra cost is well worth the difference.

READ THIS ----> We receive a lot of email messages requesting information about whether we have this radio schematic or that radio schematic.  If your radio was manufactured in America and it was made by a recognized manufacturer, we should have the schematic.  It should be noted, however, that there were dozens of makers of radios in the very early days of radio that only made a few, and many of them were one of a kind and most probably were built on their kitchen table or in their garage or barn.  In our Riders CD-Series, we have extracted a list of manufacturers and their brand names to help you in seeing if  their schematics are in our archives.  If your radio is one of these, we will most probably have it, but always give us as much information as you can so we can make sure that we are sending you the correct schematic diagram.  Note:  If you do not see your radio in this list, it could mean several things, i.e., your radio may have not been made by these manufacturers, it may be a one of a kind, it may have been built after WWII, it may have been manufactured overseas or in Canada or a whole raft of other reasons you may not find it in the listing below.   If you see your radio's name, we will most likely have the schematic, if you don't see it, give us an email inquiry.  Here are the manufacturers names and some of the brand names they were sold under . . . Most of the below list of names were manufacturers names who had service information archived by Riders and others between 1915 and the late 1950's.

If you know who made your radio and the model or chassis and you are ready to order, please do so by clicking ORDER now. If you fall into category "B" or "C" discussed at the top of this page, and you want to order a schematic for your unidentified radio, please fill in the information below as requested.....

SERVICE SCHEMATIC INFORMATION

Generally speaking, radios and televisions manufactured after 1946 are available in the Service Schematic series.  There are several categories of equipment available.

  • RADIO-TV          Service Schematic Series
  • TSM -                Transistorized Radios
  • AR -                   Auto Radios
  • MHF -                Modular Hi-Fidelity
  • CB -                  Citizens Band Radios
  • VCR -                Video Cassette Recorders
  • SD -                   Scanners

You need to order with the make and model and/or chassis for the radio that you need a schematic for.  You should assume if it is before 1964, we should have it.  If we do not have it, we will email or call you for your information.  Please assume we have it in our archives.   Service chematic prices are dependent on how many pages are involved.  Most earlier radios are less than 10 pages.  Most TV sets fall into the 11-25 page category.  The newer the set, the larger the service information will be.  It is not unusual to see some of the later factory radio service manuals that will exceed 25 pages.

Pricing - all via mail at extra cost - add $ 3.00 for E-Mail because we have to digitize these before E-Mailing them. (Stated earlier on this page)

Description Pages Price
Schematic 1-10 13.95
Schematic 11-25 18.95
Schematic 26-50 26.95
Schematic 51-199 34.95
Schematic 200+  44.95

EUROPEAN MADE RADIOS (not imported into the USA)

If your radio was made in Europe, we may have the schematic as a special.  If we do have it, we will let you know based on the model and make information that you give to us.  We have to get these schematics from overseas and it takes about 6 weeks to do so.  These are special, very hard to get schematics.  The cost for these is $ 45.00, but if you've got one of these wonderful old radios that doesn't work, it is worth the effort to get a schematic and to repair the radio.  You can always inquire as to whether we will have it or not.  As a side note, many European radios after WWII were exported to the US by trading companies using different names, but usually the actual manufacturer's name would be on the back of the set cover.  The Service Manual Series has, in fact, a few of these sets, so if so, the cost would be as indicated above with the page prices.  If not, then we have to try to see if your set manufacturer and model number match the European version of that set.  It may or may not be an exact match, so it is important to give as much information about the radio as you can at the time of initiating an inquiry or order.

Schematic/Manual Service Ordering Form

If you think the radio or tv was made before 1975, please assume we have it and if you are ready go directly to the order page "ORDER HERE".  Do not fill in the below form unless you don't know who made it or don't know a model number and want us to do a search for this schematic.  If this is the case fill in the blanks below and at the bottom of the form, click the "ORDER HERE" hyperlink that will take you to the ordering page.  Just enter "Search schematic" in the data fields there and we will match up the data you gave us in this form with your order.  



Send me information if you have the schematic for this radio.  I can use the below form in inquiring as to whether Radio Era has the schematic or not, as well as to go ahead and order a schematic.  In the below space fill in all the data that you have for this radio INCLUDING make and model number if you know it.  If you know the make and model number, we will most probably have it and can fill your order.  If you don't know something about it, then enter all data about the radio, model number, chassis number, anything you think might help to identify your radio.  After ordering a schematic, if we, for whatever reason, do not have it, we will contact you by email or phone and if we think we can find it as a manual , we will offer it to you in our communication and give you the price at that time. In most cases we may, perhaps, actually have the original service manual data by the manufacturer.  Accuracy with the data that you send is paramount and it will make the difference in finding the schematic!  We fill over 99.9% of our order requests!   Unfortunately there are no simplified resources that will cut the time necessary with a Service schematic search.  If we have to do a search because of any of the reasons already discussed,  a Search costs $ 28 + mailing, but you are guaranteed to get a schematic that is very close or actually matches the information that you have given.  (Think about this, without specific and accurate information, you are asking someone to search over 1,000,000 schematic diagrams for     $ 28.00 !!!)  This can take weeks!  Would you do the same for $ 28.00?  Are we crazy?  Probably, but we are dedicated to the task of helping you and know of no other way to do this in a simplified way.  So please be careful with the information and make it as accurate as you can.  Please fill out the below data blocks below, then click the "submit request" button.  If you are ordering, then click "Order" hyperlink below or on any page there is an order button on the top left part of every page.  We appreciate your inquiries and orders.
