For the last few years I have
been scanning and posting Radio Service Data Sheets like this one featuring the
Belmont 4-Tube Model 408 (Series A) Battery "Farm" Superhet radio in graphical format,
rather than run OCR on them to separate the textual content. It appeared in the
October 1938 issue of Radio-Craft magazine. 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. No example of this radio could be
found on the WWW. I keep a running list of all data sheets at the bottom of the
page to facilitate a search.

Belmont Radio Corporation
Belmont Radio was a manufacturing company that produced a range of radio equipment,
including radios, amplifiers, and speakers. The company was known for its innovative
designs and high-quality products, and was a leader in the radio industry during
its time.
Founded in the early 20th century, Belmont Radio began as a small company that
produced simple crystal radio sets. As radio technology advanced, the company expanded
its product line to include more sophisticated radio equipment, such as amplifiers
and speakers. Belmont Radio also developed its own patented radio technologies,
which helped to set it apart from its competitors.
One of the key innovations that Belmont Radio is remembered for is its development
of the "All-Wave" radio, which allowed listeners to receive broadcasts from around
the world. This was a significant advancement in radio technology, as previous radios
were limited to receiving local broadcasts. Belmont Radio's All-Wave radio was widely
popular and helped to establish the company as a leading manufacturer of radio equipment.
In addition to its radio equipment, Belmont Radio was also known for its distinctive,
high-quality speakers. The company's speakers were designed to deliver excellent
sound quality and were popular with both radio enthusiasts and music lovers. Belmont
Radio speakers were used in a variety of settings, including homes, businesses,
and public spaces.
Unfortunately, as the radio industry evolved and new technologies emerged, Belmont
Radio struggled to remain competitive. The company eventually went out of business,
but its legacy lived on through its many innovations and its high-quality products.
Today, Belmont Radio is remembered as a pioneering company that helped to shape
the radio industry and bring the magic of radio to the masses.

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.
