RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB.

You might not expect from the relatively simple circuit that the entire Model 7C64 was mounted in a multi-sectioned wooden cabinet that included a phonograph. The thumbnail at the left is from the RadioMuseum.org website - a great source for research on vintage vacuum tube radios.

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.
