As a sensitivily control is ganged with the
tuning knob a] the Philips 634A. the scale
should be turned to maximum when taking
valve current and voltage measuremmls.
Circuit-The first H.172 valve V1 (S4171?)
is preceded by a. band-pass aerial circuit and
is coupled to the second 17.17, valve 172
(S4VB) by a tuned secondary HF. trans-
former. A similar transformer couples V2
to the diode section of the single diode
tetrade detector V3 (SIM), and true auto-
matic volume control is employed from the
plate of the diode to the grid circuit of the
first HF. valve. In addition, a cmnpensat»
ing sensitivity control R4 is made automatic
by gauging with the tuning mndensels.
The amplifying section of the S.D.T. valve
is resistance capacity ooupled to the grid of
the pentode output which is oompensated and
fitted with a manual tonermnhml threewuy
switch. The speaker is u permanent-magnet

negative H.T, lead in conjunction with
STRAIGHT
between R16, R17 provides bias for the
S.D.T. grid, which is decoupled.
Special Notes-This receiver appears
more complicated than it really is Philips
own slip-on resistances are used and are ob»
tainable from the makers (The soldering
iron should not he too hot.)
The sensitivity switch operates by connect-
ing R30 in parallel with R18 and part of R4
to lower the minimum bias on the H.F.
valves.
In some cases an extra condenser may be

Remove screws from mains supply late at

screws from underneath. Remove knobs from
front (grub screws).
In handling this chassis, take care not to
strain any of the containers not alter the
position of the wiring. Any alteration would
seriously impair performance.
Nolan-In the event of any trouble develop-
ing in the tuning coils, condense/rs, or the
small sealed trimmers, the set must be re-
turned to the makers.
Removing Speaker-.mDisconnect the
leads and remove nuts from the three clamps.
\Vhen a new cone and coil assembly is re-
quired, this can be obtained from the makers
M; a new clamping ring.
General Notes.-The wiring is not coded,
and when a component has to be replaced the
wiring should be labelled, To facilitate this
for the block condenser we have numbered
the terminals; the condensers give the con-
nections. _
