Belmont Model 6D111 Radio (eBay image - scroll down on page)

The Belmont Model 6D111 tabletop radio must have been very popular because there are many of them still available - in both white and brown - for purchase on eBay. Since radios, televisions, phonographs, tape players, etc. were considered serviceable items back in the vacuum tube days, magazine such as Radio-Craft often published Radio Service Data Sheets with basic specifications, alignment information, and a schematic. Companies like Sams Photofact sold more comprehensive data packets, but these abbreviated datasheets were convenient for do-it-yourselfers and smaller service shops that could not afford a subscription to Sams. Since there are still many people who restore these vintage radios, I post these Radio Data Sheets to help preserve the history.

Alignment Procedure

  • No aligning adjustments should be attempted until all other possible causes of trouble have been thoroughly checked.
  • Chassis must be removed from cabinet for proper alignment. Slight adjustments of the oscillator and antenna circuits can be made, without removing the chassis through two holes provided on the bottom of the cabinet. 'The two adjustments screws can be reached with a long insulated screwdriver.
  • It is important tune during alignment the loop antenna be maintained at the same distance from the chassis as when the chassis is installed in the cabinet.
  • Turn volume control to maximum for all adjustments.
  • Connect ground post of signal generator to B- of radio through a 0.1 uf condenser.
  • Connect dummy antenna value in series with generator output lead.
  • Connect output meter across primary of output transformer.
 

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 255 Radio Service Data Sheets as of April 30, 2025.
