Looking for schematic and alignment procedures for a Telefunken radio model 5461W. I will gladly pay a reasonable amount for original documents, scanning and/or mailing copies, or will gladly scan and return your original if you feel comfortable mailing it to me. I'm just not familiar with these German sets at all!

Regards,
Chris

Hi Chris,

Did you do a google search?

The Radiomuseum.org has the info, as well as this guy (his e-mail address is at the bottom of the page): http://home.arcor.de/walter.groer/telefunk.htm

Good luck, Peter

Hello Peter,

Yes I Googled extensively but did not pick up on the latter link you mentioned, I will send him an email. Thanks!
I have run into the radiomuseum website before.. I just have a difficult time justifying a $25 FEE, along with other mandates for membership to a website, just to access information that ought to be in the public domain free of charge. Now, a few dollar suggested donation or something to maintain the web server, etc YES I totally understand and justify... But $25 per head?!? It's not a club that has additional overhead, activities, a physical snail-mailed newsletter, etc.. Or am I wrong in this notion?

Dear Chris
You are right, you should not apply for a membership if you only want to download one schematic.
With some time investment you probably find most schematics for free somewhere.
To get a membership is not a rapid and easy process. Radiomuseum.org tries to get better quality by having real names and addresses instead of anonymous users and it likes members who do help to build up from what you take advantage of: a most complete reference work for radios and related ... "Naturally" more than 50 % have never shown any activity (uploading) but that is normal.

To get the ability for all what is possible in Radiomuseum, this means that in my house I pay a full time programmer since years - at the moment it is one plus one software engineer for 50% of time. Radiomuseum implies a lot of traffic (daily 20 thousand different users - up to 28,000 a day open 200 thousand pages), a lot of disk space and a lot of security issues etc.

I'm planning now with this new programming capacity to introduce a possibility that one can pay for instance $ 12.50 to get about 12 pages of schematics or a combination of 60 collector prices. Those credits will stay for one year or 6 months. This will hopefully help to keep the organization running when I personally can't go on.

Here you find some facts about Radiomuseum.org:
