Over 900 pages of Radio Circuit Diagrams, alignment data, troubleshooting procedures, parts layouts and lists!

Finally! A collection of Radio Service information on CD-ROM!
This CD-ROM covers almost every model of radio manufactured in Canada
from 1938 to 1942 and from 1946 to 1948. Of course there is a gap in
between where World War II curtailed production of consumer radios.
Every page is scanned in grayscale - not monochrome - to enhance the
readability and quality of the diagrams. At 300 dots per inch, the
scanned pages are at a resolution higher than that of the analog
printing equipment used in the originals! Every detail that could be
read on the originals can be read on the files on this CD-ROM! And 300
dpi is twice the resolution of most other CD's of this kind!
(competitors scan at 150 dpi to cut down on production time and cost -
compared with Radio Circuits Database, three quarters of the information
from the originals is lost!)
With a beautiful HTML interface, this CD is both a joy to navigate and
compatible with most personal computer platforms. You can view an
overview of each page, expand it to full size (your scrollbars will
definitely come into play here!) or even print the diagrams out from
your web browser! Easy instructions are included on the CD. This CD
will work with nearly any Windows or Linux PC with a web browser and it
has also been tested Macs with good results. If you have a Mac, the CD includes a free utility you may need to access the Joliet file structure so you can get the most from the CD! You will not need
anything else to make use of this CD. However, for the absolute best
results with your printer, it will help for you to have a good paint
program or DTP package installed. And if you have a Windows machine,
the CD is AutoRun compatible! Just put it in and it will spawn your web
browser and you're in! How easy is that! We have just added a new
AutoPlay launcher that makes this CD-ROM fully AutoPlay compatible with
Windows XP and Windows 2000! Buy with confidence, your new Windows
version is supported!

Just click the thumbnail below for a full-size diagram of the Addison model 5A catalin radio, made in Toronto, Canada in 1946-47. This is actually one of three pages we have on this model.
