Anyone know where I can find a schematic on the Crosley 348 Swing-A-View?

This may be a start: http://www.earlytelevision.org/pdf/c...8cp_manual.pdf

IIRC, that set uses a 7F8 for the local oscillator in the tuner, and an unusual IF frequency. Be prepared to buy many, many 7F8s. You'll need to swap them to find the least drift prone example, or else put up with adjusting the fine tuning every few minutes for the first half hour of operation.

Try pages 29 and 30 of the above mentioned PDF, for the schematic.

You might have to convert pages 29 & 30 to TIF's before printing, and it will take a very large sheet of paper.

Looks like the Rider Volume 2 info is also on the ETF site, including the schematic...

John VTS1134,

There is a problem with some browsers, especially those professionally set up in many business offices: For added security, there is a size limit of a PDF you can directly view on-line.

Go to this page on ETF:

http://www.earlytelevision.org/tv_sc...-h-i-j.html#ge

Select (usually single right click for windows) either GE 901 or 910 and select from the menu that pops-up [Save target as.] (Both the 901 and 910 are the same file)

A new window will then open up. Before you select [Save] note what the file is being named. If it is a random string of numbers and letters, stick "GE-901", or whatever you wish, ahead of the name before you hit save and it will be a lot easier to find.

This will get you around the browser size limit, and ETF should download all forty pages of the factory manual.


John Folsom,

Thanks! I was looking at the pictures of the other 901 at

http://www.theradiofox.com/tv/ge901/index.html

and was expecting to see an RCA type of light barrel, and looked right at the Lucite lens, but did not recognize it without its RCA hardware.

I'll bet that open mirror in the GE makes a nice place for cats to curl up in . . . . . . . but it does make it much easier to clean the mirror, and to accidentally damage the silver surface.

I was surprised at the lack of X-Ray shielding on GE CRT / mirror system.

James-

I was looking at the Crosley schematic, not the GE. Ross emailed me a good scan of one and I have it printed out on 6 sheets of paper.

Didn't I send you both of those in the box of Sams? Was pretty sure I did.....

You sent the RCA and the GE. I didn't think there was a Sams for the Crosley.

I wish I was closer! I like those RCAs.

uShip is always an option. They weren't close to me when I found them.
