Arvin Model 6 Radio Service Data Sheet
August 1938 Radio-Craft

August 1938 Radio-Craft

August 1938 Radio Craft Cover - RF Cafe[Table of Contents]

Wax nostalgic about and learn from the history of early electronics. See articles from Radio-Craft, published 1929 - 1953. All copyrights are hereby acknowledged.

I have been scanning and posting many "Radio Service Data Sheets" like this one featuring the Arvin Model 6 under-dash car radio in graphical format, but have not yet run OCR on them to reproduce the textual content for search purposes. I could not locate an example of a restored model. Radio-Craft magazine and others published many of these for the sake of hobbyists and commercial repair shops that could not afford to pay for subscriptions to services such as Sams Photofact. Manufacturers usually would not provide service data to non-representatives. 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. See the running list of all data sheets posted thus far at the bottom of the page.

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.
