Garod 5A1 "Ensign" Tabletop Radio - RF Cafe 

Garod Model 5A1 "Ensign" Tabletop Radio from the RadioMuseum.org website 

Here are the schematics and parts list for the Garod model 5A1 "Ensign" tabletop radio. They appeared in the September 1947 issue of Radio News magazine. Unlike with a lot of these service data sheets, there was no textual description of the circuit functions or an alignment procedure. A nicely restored example of the Garod 5A1 "Ensign" Tabletop radio can be seen on the RadioMuseum.org website. 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. That makes today's situation similar to what existed back in the era where such information was difficult to obtain without having an inside line to the manufacturer. I keep a running list of all data sheets to facilitate a search (bottom of 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 255 Radio Service Data Sheets as of April 30, 2025.
