Besides collecting radios, I have a huge library of early service information, books, manuals, magazines, and advertisements. While nothing in my library is for sale, I have scanned a few documents and made them available for download, for free. While a majority of these documents are scanned by me personally, a few are scanned by others and no longer available online, so I reposted them here with the proper credit given. If you have anything that you would like to contribute, please contact me with your info.

You can view the downloads by clicking the links, and viewing/printing from your browser. If you would like to save the files to your PC, right click the links and select "Save Target As", and save to your PC.

Unless otherwise noted, all of these scanned documents are property of me, Jeremy Schotter. I made them available online, free to download, as a service to other collectors and restorers.

Most of the files are in .pdf format, and require Adobe Acrobat to view.

* Zip file, requires Winzip to open. (A few evaluation version is available.)
** DJVU file, requires DjVu viewer to open. (A free program, much like Adobe Acrobat.)
