GENERAL SERVICE NOTES

Service, other than replacement of either pilot lights or vacuum tubes, is usually
not required. If the tuner is not operating properly, all external connections should
be checked to make sure that the difficulty is in the tuner. Generally, it is advisable
to replace the connection to the tuner with a tape recorder or similar device to check
out the amplifier performance. If the difficulty appears to be located in the tuner,
the level controls should be first checked, to insure that they are rotated away from
their extreme counter-clockwise positions. Then, the vacuum tubes should be checked by
replacing them with new ones, one by one. The tubes should be tight in their sockets
and provided with shields where applicable. Tube defects frequently do not show up in
a tube tester. Only operation in the tuner will insure the proper working of a vacuum.

Tuning Dial Pilot Light Replacement:

1.

2.

First set the tuning dial so that the heavy white lines line up with the
pointers on the dial and the logging scale is towards the top of the panel.
In this position, the tuning condensers are closed.

Unscrew and remove the tuning knob and dial. This will permit access to the
pilot light which is a #47 bulb.

After the bulb has been replaced, use the following procedure:

1.

2.

Close the condenser plates by rotating the condenser to the extreme counter-
clockwise position.

Replace the dial, lining up the heavy white lines of the dial with the pointers
and keeping the logging scale toward the top of the front panel.

Meter and Indicator Pilot Light Replacement:

1. Remove the pilot light assembly by inserting a sharp instrument (a screw driver
or knife) between the Control Shield and the Assembly Clip.
2. Remove the old bulb and install the new #47 bulb.
3. Reinstall the light assembly by snapping it into the hole.
TEST PROCEDURE
figgg: No attempt should be made to align the tuner or repair it unless the person

so doing has had extensive experience in tuner alignment and repair procedures
and has the necessary laboratory equipment. Without proper experience or
equipment, the repairman may seriously damage the tuner.

VTVM (AC)

Oscilloscope

VOM

Distortion Meter

FM Signal Generator (must be measurements ZlOAB or equivalent)
MX Generator

Audio Generator

15 kc Low Pass Filter

Insulated Alignment Tools

Set Controls to the Following:
