Service Schematic Series Information

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 Manual Series type schematics better than Riders.  These are premium service manuals covering radios, tv's, amplifiers, phonographs and more from 1946 to about 1963.  They usually come with pictures, parts lists, schematics, alignment information, dial cord info and more.

SERVICE SCHEMATIC SERIES INFORMATION

Generally speaking, radios and televisions manufactured after 1946 are available in the Service Schematic Series or from original factory service manuals. They cover the following categories as follows:

• RADIO-TV          Service Schematic Series
• TSM -                Transistorized Radios
• AR -                   Auto Radios
• HI-FI -                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 will have it.  If we do not have it, we will email or call you for more information.  All schematics that are reproduced from the Schematic Series Sets" and are $ 18.95 each + S&H.  If your service manual is not in the "normal" Schematic Series Sets and is in the other archive libraries, the price per service manual is $ 25 + S&H.  Generally speaking most Radio and TV schematics are in the regular set folders, while everything else will be from the archives and factory original service manuals and at the higher cost.  This pricing policy is different from the past where the price depended on the number of pages.  This was somewhat confusing and when asked how much a manual would be, we would not generally know without having to go to the archives and count the pages.  So we are trying to make this less confusing and fairer to all of our customers.  So once again, Radio and TV schematic data is $ 18.95 per set and Transistorized radios, Auto radios, Hi-Fi, CB, VideoCassette equipment and Scanners are $ 25.00 each.

Pricing - Printed Manuals - all via mail + S&H

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

We can E-Mail a schematic service manual 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.  Since PDF files now seem to be the most popular format and most computer users already have Adobe Acrobat Reader downloaded or already installed on their computer, all of our emails will be sent as a PDF file attached to your email address.  Make sure you put your email address down accurately, as you cannot believe how many half baked email addresses we get with mistakes and even the extensions missing.   Look what Mark Mokris of Michigan had to say about our email schematic service in 1999....
