Tine voltage 115 Fuse in 120 volt clips Yolume control in maximum position Alignment Through holes in the rear of the condenser shield four hexagonal nuts can be seen. By turning these nuts io the right or left, increases or decreases the capacity of the vernier condensers. ‘The adjusting my be done with a socket wrench of the Spintite type, size No.5. Balancing at the factory is done with an oscillator tuned to 203 meters. Since an oscillator is not at all times available, rebalancing may be accomplished with the carrier wave of a statim, preferably a distant one between 200 and The set should be tuned to the station and without further turn~ , the balancing mats, starting with the one to the left, tumed until the peak of the signal is reached. A tolerance of 5 meters is allowed Detween the dial setting and the given wave-length of thé station. ‘That is, it may de necessary to rebalance a set so that it is off scale 5 meters each way from the wave-length of the station, in order to bring the set to the operating point, The difference in the dial reading miy afterwards be corrected by adjusting the dial strip. Adjusting Dial Strip The dial strip is held in place ty the knurled dial segment, which in turn is +o the drum with two flat hoad machine screws. ‘There are ‘also three small screws ruming through the dial strip into the dial segment on the inside of the drum. The five screws ( 2 large and 3 small) should be loosened just ensugh to allow the dial strip to be slipped around the drum under the dial segment. After the dial strip is adjusted to the proper position the screws should ve tightencd. FEAR q x90 WY 77 CHAM? LS WOH) OZIE NULEAOSSIOP OW HLINTE "FADING" OR “OUTTING-oUr” "50" AND "60" SERIES The most common cause of complaint in the "50" or "60" series is of Fading or Cutting-out, Outside of the usual possibility of a poorly soldered connection, it may be at- tributed to two major conditions, as follows: The original audio tuning condenser, (Part #22-64, on aiegram) had a tondenoy to open internally as a result of poor connection between the leads and the tinfoil, at the time this occurs, the volume will drop about aixty (60%) percent and the reproduction becomes distorted. In this case the con- denser should be replaced with one of similar capacity, namely .03 mfa. In many cases of "fading" or “outting-out" of the "50" and "60" series, we have found the fault traceable to a certain condition of the volume control unit. The graphite lubricating material seems to dry between the roller and roller arm, causing a high resistance or semi- contact surface which causes the cirouit to open or close at this point. A sigple remody is to disassemble the volume control and clean oll movable parts thoroughly in alcohol. The resistence strip should also be wiped with o cleon ary oloth, in order to remove grease and loose carbon particles, Be caroful not to use alcohol on the resistance strip, sinco it may dissolve and removo tho carbon. Whon reassembling, tho pressuro washer must bo sot tightly botwoen tho innor foco and tho roller arm, Complaint of noisy volumo control operation may bo attributed to loose carbon particles botwoen tho rollers and resistence strip. This may also be corrected in tho abovo mannor, Where tho caso is very obstinete end oan not bo oorrcct- oa with tho deta givon, the Sorvico man should direct his attention to the by-pass condonsors. An intermittently opon or shorted unit will also causo "fading" or "outting-out"; how- ever, the possibility of trouble at this point is vory smoll in comparison to the audio coupling condensor or volume control. A. C. HUM IN 50 end 60 SERIES Abnormal hum in eny 50 or 60 model my be traced to either one of two definite sources. First, the screen grid detector tube. Due to the use of three audio stages a slight hum, originsting in the deteotor, is greatly emplified by the time it reaches the spesker. 0 actually determine whether this is the cause, remove this tube from the set. If the hum level decreases, a new tube will remedy it inmediately. The second cause may be due to lack of proper filtering result- ing from 2 defective electrolytic condenser. This unit ie housed in the round metal conteiner near the diel drum. The condenser is removed by simply loosening, with two or three full turns, the screws at the base end sides of the container. Three leads will be found ct the top of the condenser which should be carefully unsoldered. The terminal which beers a paint or orayon merk is the 18 mfd. section. (Be careful to note color of the wire which ettaches to it in order thet it can be soldered to the corresponding lug of the replecement unit.) The condenser can then be easily removed by prying from the bottom end sides end lifting from the top. Be sure to plece the new condenser in the seme relative position in order thet the leads (out to e specific length) oan be solder- ed back in place properly. A new, improved condenser of the ary type, Zenith pert number 22-61), is eveilable at $4.00 list. Its use will afford a permanent hum cure. If e slight residuel hum is present efter following instruc- tions given above, connect a 250,000 ohm, 1 watt carbon resist- or from grid to grid of the ‘27 first push-pull eudio stage. This will make the set preoticelly humless. PARTS AND PRICES MDIELS 52, 53, 54, 57 60, 61, 62, 64,67 Gonden: +26 Mfd. (/R, F. Plate By-Pass), 9 x 9-18 Mf.
