Hoffman Model A301 (eBay image)

Here are the schematics & parts lists for the Hoffman model A301 tabletop radio.  It was published in the August 1947 issue of Radio News magazine. I typically run OCR on them to separate the textual content and include part of that to help the search engines find it. However, this one did not have any textual description. 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. The thumbnail to the left is a pretty nice example of a Hoffman model A301 tabletop radio currently listed on eBay. I keep a running list of all data sheets to facilitate a search (see below).

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.
