This manual has a two -fold purpose.


First, the material included will aid you
in servicing and adjusting popular F.M.
and Television receivers. Second, you can
employ this material as a study -manual of
factory instructions for carrying out tests,
adjustments, and repairs of F.M. and
Television equipment. The contents will
give you the "know-how" to do F.M. and
television servicing, and will guide you
step-by-step if you are called to repair
any of the popular models included.

As always, it is the object of


SUPREME PUBLICATIONS to bring to servicemen
needed books of practical nature and this
volume is a worthy addition. The time
spent in the study of this manual will be
repaid handsomely when more and more P.M.
and television service jobs will be coming
your way. You have made a wise move in
wanting to keep abreast of developments.
Our sincere thanks is extended to
the many manufacturers whose receivers are
described and whose cooperation was secured
in this undertaking.

REPLACING TUNING SLUG
If it becomes necessary to change a tuning slug proceed in
the following manner: Set the gang to its wide open position, un-
solder and remove the old slug. Set the slug adjusting screw about
half way down. Place the new slug in such a position that PA
inches of its length is above the coil form (or 1" above the
chassis top). Solder it in this position making sure that it does
not slip during the operation and that the slug wire is straight.
Realign as directed.
CHASSIS REMOVAL (For Servicing)
Due to the type of chassis mounting used, removal of the en-
tire tilt -out door assembly (with receiver chassis attached) sim-
plifies removal of the receiver chassis. The receiver chassis can then
be easily removed from its shock mountings. Removal is a little
"tricky" but can be done most readily as described below:
Disconnect all cabinet wiring and cables from the chassis.
Difficulty may be experienced in removing the phono pickup plug
due to the tight fit in the socket shield. This plug can best be
removed with long -nose pliers.
Remove the screw and washer (#1 in figure 5) from both
tilt -out spring studs (2), one on each side of the tilt -out assembly.
Slip the tilt -out springs (3) off their respective studs. Unscrew the
Fig. 5. Receiver Tilt -Out Mounting ends of the tie -bar (4). The tie -bar then hangs free on the cop-
per braid used to bond it to the chassis.
Stand at the end of the cabinet (next to the radio compartment)
and hold the tilt -out door open slightly with the left hand. Use a
screwdriver to pry both tilt -out arms (#5 in figure 6) off their
studs (#6). Then push the tilt -out arms toward the front of
the cabinet (against bracket #7). The tilt -out assembly can
now be removed from the front of the cabinet by tipping it forward
and then pulling it straight out.
CHASSIS REPLACEMENT
\lake sure the rubber Dumpers (#9, Fig. 5) and rubber
strips (#8) are in place.
To replace the radio tilt -out door assembly in the cabinet, set
the assembly in so that the tilt -out arms (#5) are in back of the
studs (#6) they normally hinge on. Use your left hand to hold
the assembly in the proper position in the same manner as was
done in removing the tilt -out assembly. Use a screwdriver (in
your right hand) to spring the tilt -out arm clear of its stud
I #6). Push it forward as far as possible (as shown in figure
6). When both tilt -out arms are in this position, the assembly
can be lifted up and the tilt -out arms slipped into place on their
respective studs. The tilt -out assembly will now support itself (in
the open position).
Replace the tie -bar (#4). Replace the tilt -out springs ( #3.
See figure 5). Reconnect the cabinet wiring and cables to the
receiver chassis.Check to see that the rubber bumper (#9)
and rubber strips (#8) are in place. The assembly should now
appear as shown in figure 5.

*1 A VTVM with a zero
center scale is very convenient for use in this alignment step. A50 microammeter may be
used in place of the VTVM, but is not as accurate.
*** The oscillator circuit has been designed to operate on the high freq. side of the incoming, signal. It is
possible to adjust the trimmer (CII) at 106 MC such that the osc. is operating on the image" or low
freq. side of the signal. To check the osc. (CII) adjustment, set sig. gen. to 84.6 MC, freq. modulated,
dial pointer at 106 MC. If signal is NOT heard, adjustment of CII is correct, but if signal J. heard,
osc. trimmer CII has been incorrectly-idjusted on the "image" frequency. Readjust CII to other setting
at 106 MC and recheck with gen. freq. at 84.6 MC. Signal MUST NOT be heard with pointer at 106 MC and
sig. gen., freq. modulated, set at 84.6 PC.
If calibration is not within reasonable tolerance at these points, the osc. coil inductance must be ad-
justed. If dial pointer reading is on low freq. side, inductance is too low, and turns must be compressed
slightly. If pointer reading is on high freq. side, osc. coil is too high and coil turns must be spread
slightly.

To check and adjust inductance of ant. and RF coils, tune recelver to 90 MC signal and observe AVC
reading. Insert iron core end of "tuning wand" into RF coil, at same time rocking tuning control to max.
AVC. If reading increases as wand Is inserted, RF coil inductance is too low and turns must be com-
pressed slightly. If reading decreases, reverse wand and insert metal end into coil, again rocking
tuning control to max. AVC. If reading decreases, (after iron core check), inductance is properly ad-
justed. If reading increases, inductance is too high and turns must be spread slightly.

Ant coil is checked and adjusted exactly like RF coil.

* Some phase shift between the Signa Generator and the scope horizontal sweep may be encountered, resulting
in a double trace pattern, shown in Fig. 6. In some Oscilloscopes, provision is made for connecting this
phase shift directly in the oscilloscope circuit. If so, rotate the "phase shift" control until the curves
coincide as in Fig. 5. If no provision is made in the scope, the connection might be accomplished by in-
serting a condenser of suitable value in series with the signal generator "Synchronized Sweep Voltage"
output. The condenser value will depend upon the amount of phase shift and the horizontal input impedance
of the scope - approximate condenser range .01 to .1 mfd. See Fig. 7 for instrument connection diagram.

*** If calibration is not within tolerance at these noints, the inductance of local FM oscillator coil, RF and
antenna coils must be adjusted.
NOTE: The latter operation is a very delicate and difficult procedure, and must be attempted only by tech-
nicians of considerable high frequency experience.

1. All Amplitude Modulated input signals are modulated 30% at 400 cycles with the High side of the signal
generator connected to receiver as indicated in the alignment chart. Connect the low side of signal genera-
tor thru a 0.1 mfd condenser to the receiver chassis.
2. Receiver should tune thru peaks at 540 and 1600 kc.
3. Sweep generator alignment. (For 10.7 mc. I.F. alignment use approximately 450 kc. sweep width).
4. Sweep generator output 0.1 to 1 volt R. M. S.
5. Connect high side of scope to discriminator transformer terminal at shielded lead wire junction. Connect
low side of scope to the receiver chassis.
6. Align for maximum peak amplitude. Peak separations should be 150 to 170 kc.
7. Disconnect scope. Connect output meter to voice coil (3.2 ohms).
8. It is important that the radiation balance trimmer be adjusted to the null point for proper operation of
the Frequency Modulation band. To check the null point, connect a Field Strength Meter across the
F.M. antenna primary trimmer.
9. (a) With the F.M. signal generator set to 98.0 megacycles, feed a signal, modulated with 400 cycles at
30% to the receiver as indicated in the alignment chart. Shunt the antenna primary trimmer with a
10 ohm carbon resistor and adjust trimmer (H) for maximum output.
(b) Place the 10 ohm carbon resistor across the F.M. antenna secondary trimmer and adjust trimmer (I)
for maximum output. Remove 10 ohm carbon resistor from secondary trimmer.

PUSH BUTTON ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
Each of the six push buttons, for automatic tuning, has two adjusting screws by which it may be set to any
nearby American broadcast station whose frequency in kilocycles is within the kilocycle range covered by
that button. To gain access to these screws, carefully pull off the
push button. To set No. 1 push button to a desired position, pro - 540 590 680 750 880 1000

1. Turn the ANTENNA ADJ. SCREW clockwise until moderately
tight, then turn the OSCILLATOR ADJ. SCREW counter-
clockwise until the threaded portion extends approximately
Yi inch. Use a small screw -driver and do not exert pressure.
2. Turn the band selector switch to the "AM" position and manually
tune in the station to which the push button is to be set. The
ANTENNA ADJ SCREW
frequency of the station selected must be between 540 and 900

kilocycles. Carefully adjust the tuning control to the point of
clearest reception.
3. Turn the band selector switch to the "AUTO" position and slowly turn the OSCILLATOR ADJ. SCREW
clockwise until the same station is heard. Adjust the screw for maximum volume.
4. Adjust the ANTENNA ADJ. SCREW for maximum volume.
5. Turn the band selector switch from "AUTO" to "AM" and back again to check if the adjustment has
been correctly made. There should be no change in tone quality when switched from one to the other.
6. Place the tab with the call letters of the station, to which the push button has been set, in a celluloid "V"
and slide it into the button from the side.
7. The remaining push buttons may be set in a similar manner. No adjustment of master tone control push
buttons is required.

10. When aligning the shortwave oscillator trimmer, make certain the circuit is aligned at the correct frequency and not at the image
frequency which is 910 kilocycles lower in frequency as indicated on the receiver dial. To check, tune in signal generator frequency,
then increase the generator output and tune in the image frequency which should be audible, but weaker than the fundamental
frequency. If the image can not be tuned in, the oscillator trimmer is adjusted to the wrong peak. The correct peak is the second
peak of the trimmer from the closed position.
The F.M. channel numbers run from 200 to 300, and correspond to
frequencies from 87.9 to 107.9 megacycles. To find the frequency
in megacycles for any channel number, multiply the channel number
by 2/10, and add 47.9 . For example, channel number 280 when mul-
tiplied by 2/10 equals 56.0 and plus 47.9 gives 103.9 megacycles
amp as the frequency.

purpose, synchronizing pulses transmitted with the video sig-

The sync pulses are obtained from the video channel on
the RF-IF chassis and fed to V2, the sync amplifier. The out-
put from V2 drives the circuits in the sync stabilizer chassis.

2.4 THE AM TUNER CHASSIS.


AM tuner chassis, which is employed in the Model RA -101,
consists essentially of four major sections. The. RF amplifier
is a tuned RF stage which feeds a 6SA7 converter. The
6SA7 serves the function of both oscillator and mixer to con-
vert the RF signal to an intermediate frequency of 456 KC.
This chassis contains one IF amplifier, a 6SK7, which in turn
feeds a 6SN7. One-half of this tube acts as a diode detector
and the other half as a cathode follower output. This chassis
contains its own heater transformer but B+ is supplied to it
from the audio chassis.
Figure 9. RF-IF Chassis
6SK7 T.- IR

The sound IF frequency is picked off prior to the tuned cir-


cuit and the video IF frequency passes through to the grid
of V10, the first video IF amplifier. Two sound traps are
located, one between the first and second video IF stages and
the other between the second and third video IF stages. These
sound traps prevent the sound IF signals from passing through R-7 C -St

the video IF amplifier and causing interfering patterns in the


picture. In all there are five video IF stages in the Model
RA -101. These five stages consist of V10, V11, V12, V13, and
V14. All of these stages employ the same tube type, a 6AU6,
with the exception of V14, which uses a 6AG7. The video IF
stages utilize special coupling circuits to provide a band pass
of 4 megacycles. The output of the fifth viedo IF stage feeds
V19, the video detector. V19 is a 6AL5 which is connected
as a half wave diode detector. The output of the video detec-
tor feeds the first video amplifier, V17, a 6AG7. V17 in turn
feeds V16, a 6V6, connected as a cathode follower output.
The output of V16 is coupled directly to the control grid

Model GV-260 is similar
The features described below
will be of special interest to
the serious student of televi-
sion. By referring to the com-
plete schematic diagram on this
page, you will note that the
control grid of the first tube
is grounded, and that cathode
injection of signals into the re I

R.F. amplifier is used. This


technique has the advantage of
simplifying the input circuit
and reducing tube noise.
The R.F. section uses sub -
chassis construction for better
isolation of circuits. This is
especially advantageous at fre- 14:

quencies above 100 MC.


A separate broadcast band
adapter is avilable which can .12

be plugged in and will permit


the reception of both televi-
sion and broadcast stations. ii

Band -switching is accom-


plished through a compact and
stable turret assembly. This
assembly carries all tuning
inductances, slug -tuned, and
the associated damping resis-
tors. It is in three scetions,
corresponding to plate coils of
V1, grid coils of V2, and the
[0
oscillator tuning inductances. 211-
In the video I.F. amplifier tt
a wide pass -band is obtained
through the use of loading re-
sistors across the overcoupled
transformer secondaries, while
adjacent channel suppression is
secured with trap circuits in

Servicing Notes on 1947-1948 F. M. and Television Receivers
In connection with the presentation of material on the Farnsworth
television receiver, stress will be placed on detecting the existence
of faults through observation of a test pattern. These are several
different types of patterns and these are transmitted for short periods
for use by servicemen. The Farnsworth Company pattern used in our
illustrations embodies some special features, but in general the sugges-
tions given can be applied to other patterns.
Refer to Figure 32a which shows this pattern. It consists of
several sets of converging alternately black and white lines, a
centrally -located series of concentric circles of graduated shading,
certain lettering, and a series of horizontal and vertical lines. These
shall be discussed in turn and their purpose explained.
The converging lines constitute "resolution wedges" whose purpose is
to indicate the amount of resolution which may be had in a picture.
Those bars which are situated in a vertical direction measure the
resolution in horizontal direction and those lying horizontally measure
the vertical resolution.
At the transmitter, the scanning of two lines, one black and one
white, produces an electrical signal of one cycle (not one cycle per
second). The scanning rate is a constant and it is evident that the
more closely spaced these lines are placed, the greater the number of
cycles are produced in a given lapse of time.
So may a known spacing of the lines represent a certain frequency
of the video signal. It is also evident that, should the receiver be
incapable of reproducing the high -frequency components in the reproduced
image. The high -frequency portion of the resolution wedge will not be
reproduced --the alternate black and white lines will not be distinct.
Rather, they will merge into a single dark mass. Therefore, the point
at which the lines merge into indistinction indicates the degree of
frequency response of the system.
For example, the normally -functioning receiver should reproduce
the lines approximately to the point marked 400 --which means the equiv-
alent of 400 alternately black and white lines between one side of the
picture and the other. If the receiver is out of adjustment and the
bandwidth is too narrow, it will not reproduce this many lines.
Next, we shall consider the concentric circles shown in the chart.
Even as in photographic work, an improper gamma in reproduction will
lead to a picture which is "washed out" or one which is "overly

60 32a Normal test pattern 32b Loss of vertical sync.


Servicing Notes on 1947-1948 F. M. and Television Receivers
contrasty." If the proper gamma is present, the graduation of shading
in these concentric circles will appear to be equally darker or lighter
than adjacent circles. Misadjustment in the receiver may cause, for
example, the two inner circles to be equally shaded - black - or the
two circles may both be equally white. The first condition would
produce an overly contrasty picture while the latter would produce a
picture having a "washed out" appearance. Gamma is determined by the
relative settings of the contrast control and the brilliance control.
The circles must not become oval, for this indicates that there
exists excessive sweep amplitude in the direction of the longer axis
of the ellipse (or insufficient in the direction of the shorter axis
which may also be shown by the fact that the raster is not filled).
Non -linearity of sweep is shown by an improper relationship between
the various portions of the test patterns and by an egg -shaped set of
"circles."
Some test patterns incorporate two large circles, one somewhat
lerger than the other. These may be used to obtain proper setting of
the width and height controls, for the larger of the circles should
just fill the screen in a horizontal direction, the smaller in the
vertical direction. They, too, should be circles and not ellipses.
There are a few additional items to be observed in the use of the
test chart. Its aspect ratio is 4.3, the proper ratio for a televi-
sion picture. Therefore, it may be adjusted to just fill the screen
by properly setting the height and width controls.
Should the frequency response of the receiver be peaked at any
portion of the response curve, this will be indicated in the test
pattern as an excessively dark portion of the resolution wedge. A
dark portion across the screen may be the result of hum -modulation Of
the signal, such as the entrance of 60 cycle hum into the video portion
of the receiver but this will be distinguished by a dark band extending
from the left to the right extremities of the raster. Peaking in the
video section will produce a darkened portion of the wedge alone and
the frequency of this peak may be judged by the portion of the wedge
which is dark (overly contrasty). If at the high frequency portion of
the pass -band, the effect will be noted at the high -frequency portion
of the wedge. The various figures illustrate the appearance of the
pattern when defects in reception are present.

4. curvet AND SYNC AMPLIFIER-The triode section, V9A, of
a Type 6SN7GT tube is used to separate the sync pulses
from the video signal taken off at the load resistor, R16,
see Figure 4. This is accomplished by applying very low plate
voltage to V9A, then the resulting grid rectification causes
negative bias to be developed at the grid of V9A so that
conduction occurs only during the sync pulse intervals which
are the most positive component of the video signal.
Tube V9B is a horizontal synchronizing amplifier which
rejects the vertical pulse at the transformer, T2, by virtue
of its low inductance to the vertical synchronizing pulse.
The cathode impedance is required to raise the control grid
to a positive voltage with respect to chassis for proper
operation of V15B. The tube V15B is operated as a cathode
follower vertical synchronizing amplifier. Integration of the
vertical signal is provided in both the grid and cathode cir-
cuits.

IMPORTANT: Alignment of this chassis will in most cases be unnecessary unless an IF or RF transformer is replaced or the adjustment has
been tampered with. A vacuum tube voltmeter must be used for FM alignment. An AC output meter connected across the primary or
secondary of the output transformer will be satisfactory for all AM adjustments. The signal generator output should be kept
just high enough to get an indication on the meter.
NOTES: a Vacuum tube voltmeter pin "A" on discriminator transformer to chassis (half discriminator load).
b Vacuum tube voltmeter pin 1 of test jack to chassis full discriminator load).
c Vacuum tube voltmeter pin 3 of test jack to chassis limiter grid load).
A much more satisfactory IF and discriminator alignment may be obtained by using a 10.7 MC signal generator, frequency modulated
at an audio frequency and swept approximately 600 KC (±300 KC). An oscilloscope should be connected to test jack pin 3 and all
110 IF slugs adjusted fora symetrical pattern of highest amptitude. See Fig. 1. For discriminator alignment, connect oscilloscope
to test jack pin 1 and adjust T4 for highest linear symetrical pattern. See Fig. 2.

ALIGNMENT - Refer to the alignment chart for step by step procedure. It is
preferable to align the FM IF stages with an AM or CW Signal. It should
be noted that all adjustment are made for peak avc reading except the secondary of
the third transformer. At this point, if you use an AM signal, it may be tuned for
minimum audio signal; or the discriminator voltage may be used, reading it with
a VTVM, and the- secondary may be adjusted to the zero voltage. There may
be some discrepancy between these methods, and if it is not excessive, is of no
importance.

The FM RF alignment should be made using an FM signal and either avc or


audio for peaking. In doing this alignment, or when feeding the IF signal into the
FM mixer grid, care must be taken not to move the wiring. If the wiring is dis-
placed so as to affect the inductance of the RF circuits it is difficult to re-establish the
RF-Oscillator.tracking.

The AM, RF and IF alignment should be done with a VTVM .crcas the avc.
The recommended signal value is one which will generate 10 volts of avc. When

Chassis TS -3

Motorola Models VT -71 and VK-101 Television receivers use 29 tubes


including a 10" picture tube. Antenna receptacle is provided for
either a 75 ohm unbalanced or 300 ohm balanced line. The picture I.F.
is 26.4 MC. and sound I.F. is 21.9 MC. The description of the receiv-
er will be divided into sections and reference should be made to the
complete circuit diagram or to other illustrations as instructed.
The material presented here is supplied through the courtesy of
Motorola, Inc., and is of preliminary nature. A great deal of know-
ledge of modern television design can be obtained by the serviceman
in carefully studying this material.
The R.F. tuner permits the selection of any one channel of the 13
television channels existing between 44-88 and 174-216 MC. A wave-
band switch is used. The resonant circuits involved are designed to
pass a band of about 4.5 MC. The overall receiver band pass is about
3.5 MC. as it is reduced by that of the I.F. system. See the upper
left hand corner of schematic diagram.
The secondary consists of a high and low frequency winding in
series to provide more constant impedance over the entire television
band and to avoid reflectioni which would produce ghost images in the
picture. Channels one through six are tuned by connecting capacitors
C17, C16, C15, C14, C13, C12, respectively, across the low frequency
winding L.F.S. These are trimmer condensers and each is pre -tuned at
the factory to a specific frequency in each channel. The high fre-
quency winding (H.F.S.) being a very small inductance has negligible
effect on the tuning of the low channels.
For channels sever through thirteen, the low frequency winding is
effectively shorted out of the resonant circuit by means of connect-
ing capacitors C11, C10, and C9, respectively, across this winding.
Capacitor C2 which is permanently connected across the low frequency
coil, resonates the coil above channel six and serves to short the
coil more effectively in the upper channels because of the series
inductance present in the wave -band switch. Resistors R1 and R2 are
used to secure amore constant input impedance.
The H.F. amplifier employs a critically coupled double tuned cir-
cuit. The mutual coupling is provided by capacitors C18 and C19.
Each pair of coils, such as L13 -L14 of the coils numbered from Ll to
L26, is pre -tuned at the factory to the same frequency in each channel
by means of a brass slug.
This type of double tuned circuit is similar in performance to
that of the double tuned I.F. transformer of the average broadcast
receiver. The difference is that a capacitive mutual impedance rather
than an inductive mutual impedance is used. The degree of coupling
which determines the bandwidth of the pass band is controlled by the
size of the capacities of C18 and C19. The smaller the size of this
capacity, the greater will be the mutual impedance and the greater will
be the bandwidth; however, if coupling exceeds critical coupling, a
double hump will occur in the response. .In these receivers, C18 and
C19 are so chosen that critical coupling is obtained in each channel,
and provides a pass band of apnroximately 4.5 MC. measured between
frequencies for which the output is 3 DB. down or .7 of the output at
the resonant frequency.

The double capacitor C18 and C19 is composed of two large circular
plates with a third circular plate sandwiched between them and insul-
ated from the two outer plates by mica sheets. The two outer plates
are grounded and represent one side of the capacitor. The inner plate
represents the other side of the capacitor. The coupling condensers
CS and C20 are used to keep D.C. off the exposed coils.
The oscillator circuit (the right hand section of the diagrammed
6J6, V2), is a Colpitts circuit in which the voltage developed across
the grid -cathode capacity provides the feed -back voltage necessary to
maintain oscillation. Capacitor C25 is a small variable condenser
which is provided for the operator to permit fine tuning of the
receiver to the sound carrier. The major change in frequency re-
quired in channel selection is obtained through selection of the
proper oscillator coil of which there are thirteen. These coils are
adjusted at the factory. Capacitors C22 and C24 keep the D.C. plate
voltage off the exposed coals. The very small capacity provided by
C23 has a temperature compensating characteristic and is used to
reduce oscillator frequency drift.
The mixer circuit employs a triode tube (the other section of the
6J6) V2. Some oscillator voltage injection occurs through the com-
mon cathode lead inductance; however, coupling capacitor C21 provides
the principle source of injection voltage. The plate circuit of the
mixer is resonated by Video I.F. coil L42 to a frequency of 23.5 MC.
The sound I.F. amplifier has three stages of amplification and a
limiter. The first stage using V3, is actually the first amplifier
stage of the video I.F. amplifier system. The second and third
stages (V10 and V11) are single iron -slug tuned coils which resonate
a fixed capacitor of 20 mmfd. and the tube capacities to the operat-
ing frequency of 21.9 MC.
The limiter grid resistor R55 is kept small so that the time
constant of it and the capacitor C74 will be small; hence, when
ignition interference is present and tends to drive the limiter grid
positive, the capacitor C74 will not store the energy very long and
the interference will be reduced.
The discriminator circuit is conventional as used in F.M. receiv-
ers. The circuit uses a novel method for introducing the primary
voltage into the secondary circuit and does away with the R.F. choke
usually placed between the center tap of the secondary and center of
the load. Resistor R61 and capacitor C81 produce audio frequency
de -emphasis necessary because in the F.M. transmitter the "highs"
are over emphasized.
The audio amplifier is conventional and consists of a triode
voltage amplifier 6S8, V13 driving a 6V6, V14 in the power stage.
Resistor R69 provides audio degeneration which reduces distortion.

SINGLE FREQUENCY TUNED AMPLIFIER RESPONSE STAGGER TUNED RESPONSE 127
Servicing Notes on 1947-1948 F. M. and Television Receivers
The video I.F. amplifier, sometimes referred to as the wide -band
amplifier, is designed to provide gain and a bandwidth of approxim-
ately 4 MC. (at .5 down) to the picture I.F. frequencies. It must
also reject the sound I.F. frequencies so as not to cause sound inter-
ference in the picture. Wide -band response and gain are accomplished
by means of a 5 -stage stagger -tuned system, four amplifiers and the
mixer. Basically, a stagger -tuned amplifier is one in which each
single tuned stage resonates at a different frequency in the pass band.
The overall response of all the stages is then considerably wider than
would be achieved with all the stages tuned to the same frecuency, and
the overall gain is still as high. See figure on page 127.
To vary the gain of the video I.F. amplifier the bias of the first
three stages is changed, and is accomplished by means of the CONTRAST
control. This nomenclature is used, as varying the amount of video
signal reaching the kinescope grid determines the amount of black
and white appearing in the picture.
It is necessary to nrevent the sound I.F. frequencies from reach-
ing the video detector and the sound from getting into the picture.
This is accomplished by means of the Low Frequency Trap (L.F.T.) L50
in the video I.F. amplifier which reduces the response to the
sound
I.F. frequencies to 1/50 or less than that of the video fre-
quencies. This causes the low frequency skirt of the video I.P.
response to become very steep, see figure.
The trap is made up of components L50, C43, C44,and 1122 and is
located in the 2nd Video I.F. amplifier stage. By resonating this
trap to the sound I.F. carrier frequency 21.9 MC., a negative
resistance is produced which equals the value of R22 and results in a
short to ground at this frequency. This results in high attenuation
of the sound carrier and its side bands. In alignment the signal
generator is set at the sound I.F. carrier and L50 is adjusted for
minimum current in the video detector circuit.

Servicing Notes on 1947-1948 F. M. and Television Receivers
As the sound I.F. trap does not reduce the response sufficiently
to frequencies below the sound carrier, which could result in inter-
ference from any stations operating at these frequencies, a low fre-
quency rejector trap has also been included. This rejector trap
composed of L54 and C49 resonates to 21 MC.
To eliminate interference in the picture resulting from the sound
I.F. carrier of the adjacent television channel which is 27.9 MC., a
trap has been included to attenuate this frequency to 1/50 or more
of the frequencies in the pass band. This trap is of the same type
as that used for eliminating the sound I.F. frequencies and is locat-
ed in the 1st I.F. amplifier stage. It is composed of L46, C36, C37
and R17. In alignment it is tuned for minimum current in the detector
circuit at 27.9 MC.
Please notice that the first and second I.F. stages which contain
the high and low frequency traps, have two shunt tuning coils. In
each of these stages, both coils are effectively in parallel and de-
termine the net tuning inductance; the reason for two is that they
improve the performance of the traps. Two shunt coils were found
unnecessary for the third stage containing the low frequency
rejector trap.
The video detector uses one section of the 6AL5, V7A which is a
double diode tube. The signal voltage is applied to the cathode
producing a negative polarity'video voltage across the diode load
R31. This load is only 3900 ohms in order to prevent the shunting
tube capacities from affecting the high frequency video response.
A video response of approximately 4.5 MC. is desired. The induct-
ances L59 and L60 are peaking inductances which
tube capacities and C56 and extend the frequency response.
The video amplifier is a two stage resistance coupled system. It
is similar in operation to that used for audio amplification except
that the frequency response is much greater being approximately 4 MC.
This high frequency response is achieved by using small plate loads
and peaking L59 to L64 coils which resonate the tube capacities.
One other aspect of video amplifiers is the ability to pass the
signal without introducing phase shift. Phase shift causes distortion
due to improper displacement of picture elements. Phase shift at low
frequencies is caused by the reactance of the plate to grid coupling
capacitors. To compensate for this phase shift, the resistor -capacitor
network R34 and C60 is used. This network introduces compensation by
increasing the effective plate load at low frequencies.
To limit the amplitude of noise bursts and auto ignition type of
interference which would smear the picture and upset the synchroniza-
tion, the D.C. plate and screen voltages of the 4th video I.F. tube
and 1st video amplifier have been lowered. The use of a two stage
video amplifier system also aids in reducing trouble from noise in
that large noise amplitudes out of the detector operate in the cut-off
region of the 1st video grid. Stabilizing the 4th I.F. amplifier
plate return with a large capacitor C53 also helps reduce noise streaks
in the picture.
D.C. restoration is necessary because the video amplifiers are not
directly coupled and cannot pass the D.C. component present in the
video signal received from the detector. The D.C. component is that
which determines the average brightness of the picture and its magni-

vised at the station being received. Since the video stages are129
tude is dependent on whether a light or dark picture is being tele-
Servicing Notes on 1947-1948 F. M. and Television Receivers
capacitively coupled, the D.C. component is not passed; but only the
A.C. component which is the variation about the D.C. component. This
subject receives detailed treatment in the lecture on Television in
"Advanced Radio Servicing" by M. N. Beitman.
In the Motorola television sets, the D.C. restorer consists of the
second section of the 6AL5 double diode V7B used in the video detector
circuit and is connected into the grid circuit of the kinescope. The
D.C. restorer load is R47 across which a positive voltage is developed
when the video signal is applied. The positive restorer voltage re-
duces the negative voltage applied by the Brightness Control R130 and
determines the average brightness. Since the diode is connected with
its plate below its cathode on the resistor string, it will conduct
only on the negative amplitude of the video signal. This means that
the D.C. restorer voltage produced across R47 will be nearly that of
the negative amplitude. The D.C. restorer voltage is maintained for
a time approximately a frame period, because during the period that
the restorer diode is conductive, condenser C64 is charged to the D.C.
voltage developed across R47; and when the tube is non-conductive, this
charge must leak through a resistive path made up of R47, R46, R44 and
R43. Since R47 is particularly high, it takes a comparatively long
time for the D.C. voltage on C64 to change.
In order to synchronize the sweep voltages of the horizontal and
vertical deflection systems, it is necessary to first separate the
synchronizing pulses from the video component. By taking the Sync.
Amplifier input voltage from a point in the kinescope grid circuit
below the D.C. Restorer, the D.C. Restorer tube aids in the Sync. sep-
aration. This action comes about from the difference in Sync. Ampli-
fier input voltage when the tube is conducting as compared to when it
is not. To understand this action, consider the method of obtaining
the Sync. Amplifier input voltage. It is seen to be the voltage
developed across R46, R45,and R130 are by passed by capacitor C65. On
the positive half of the video signal applied to the D.C. Restorer,
the Restorer tube V7B does not conduct as its plate is then negative
with respect to its cathode. The Sync. Amplifier input voltage is then
the fraction 33/1043 of the kinescope grid voltage or voltage across
R44 and, as can be seen, is quite small. On the negative half of the
video signal, the Restorer tube conducts and presents a series imped-
ance of several hundred ohms. This effectively shunts R47 and makes
the Sync. Amplifier input voltage 33/43 of the kinescope grid voltage.
This means that approximately 24 times as much Sync. signal is applied
to the Sync. Amplifier on the negative half of the video signal which
contains the Sync. pulses and some video than on the positive half
which contains mainly the video component. Because of the presence of
some video component on the negative half of the composite signal, the
Sync. input voltage still contains an appreciable amount of video and
further stripping is necessary.
The Sync. Separator removes the synchronizing pulses from the com-
posite video signal. It also stabilizes and limits the amplitude of
the synchronizing pulses so that a constant pulse amplitude is applied
to the deflection systems for a weak or strong video signal. It is a
three -stage system containing a pulse stabilizing amplifier, a pulse
stripper, and a pulse limiter.
The purpose of the pulse stabilizing amplifier is to amplify the
"Sync" pulses and also stabilize the output so that the output will
tend to remain constant for a wide range of input voltages. This

130 stabilization or compression is accomplished by operation over


non-linear portion of the plate current -grid voltage curve.
Servicing Notes on 1947-1948 F. M. and Television Receivers
V-15 is a 6SK7 tube and has a remote plate current cut-off characteris-
tic. The signal received from the kinescope is of negative polarity
and tends to drive the tube toward plate current cut-off. With a weak
signal, the "Sync" pulse operates over the relatively high gain portion
of the curve, while on large signals, the "Sync" pulse operates over a
lower gain portion of the curve. The result is a more constant "Sync"
pulse amplitude.
The pulse stripper stage of the Sync. Separator V16 clips the sig-
nal at just above the blanking level and removes all of the video com-
onent from the "Sync" pulses. This is accomplished by driving the
grid of the Stripper positive. A negative bias voltage proportional
to the "Sync" signal is developed across grid resistor R72 and this
bias is of such value that plate current flows only during the peak
portion of the signal received from the stabilizing amplifier.
The shunt capacitor C91 serves to reduce the high frequency compon-
ents of the video signal reaching the grid of the stripper. The coup-
ling capacitor C92 is made small to discriminate against low frequency
voltage changes that would cause the "Sync" pulses to move up and down
and cause the picture to jitter. However, the use of a small coupling
capacitor causes differentiation of the vertical pulse group, that is,
the grid coupling condenser C92 charges up rapidly on the wide vertical
pulses which causes the pulse at the grid to have a saw -tooth shaped
top, as shown in the left hand figure at the bottom of the page.
The pulse limiter stage flattens the top of the vertical pulses
received from the clipper so that a good square shaped pulse is applied
to the integrating circuit which provides the resultant vertical pulse
that "Syncs" the vertical blocking oscillator.
a more constant pulse amplitude for change of signal input level.
A 6J5 triode V17 is used and is operated at zero bias. The "Sync"
pulse applied is negative going but the coupling condenser C95 pro-
duces an A.C. axis which because of the width of the pulses and the
Alort interval between pulses is located close to the top of the "Sync"
pulses. The positive component is then very large and drives the grid
positive producing a bias voltage across R76 which is quite large, see
figure at right belowcn this page. This bias voltage is represented by
Ec. The top part of the pulse wnich as the saw -tooth shape then falls
beyond the cut-off point and is, therefore, clipped producing a square
pulse in the plate circuit.

The vertical deflection system generates the 60 cycle saw -tooth
voltage. It is a four circuit arrangement involving three tubes. It
consists of a pulse integrator, a blocking oscillator, a discharge
tube, and an output amplifier. The pulse integrating circuit generates
one large pulse from the vertical group of six pulses contained in the
composite video signal. This integrated pulse is then used to syn-
chronize the blocking oscillator. The blocking oscillator generates
a large positive pulse which is applied to the discharge tube grid and
makes it conductive. This tube then discharges a capacitor across
which the saw -tooth sweep voltage is developed. The output amplifier
converts this sweep voltage into the sweep current that is used to
deflect the kinescope beam.
The pulse integrator circuit consists of a double RC filter in the
grid return circuit of the vertical blocking oscillator. It is com-
nosed of resistors R78 and R79 and capacitors C97 and C98, see the
schematic diagram. The vertical group of pulses consisting of six
equalizing followed by six field pulses and then six more equalizing
pulses is applied to the integrator through capacitor C96. The time
constants of R78 and C97, R79 and C98 are so large that capacitors
C97 and C98 charge very little during each equalizing pulse period.
As the interval between equalizing pulses is larger than the pulse
period, any charge due to the equalizing pulses leaks off. During the
periods of the six field pulses, however, capacitors C97 and C98 are
charged appreciably since the field pulses are quite wide, further
since the interval between field pulses is very short, very little of
the charge can leak off before the next pulse is applied. The result
is the charge builds up on each field pulse creating a pulse of
sufficient size to reduce the negative voltage on the grid of the
blocking oscillator tube to a value less than cut-off and starts the
oscillator cycle. The vertical "sync" pulse built up in the integrator
leaks off in the long interval between vertical pulse groups.
The blocking oscillator is a regenerative arrangement. The oscil-
lator tube which is one section of a 6SN7, V18 has its plate circuit
coupled to its grid circuit by means of the transformer T4. This oscil-
lator produces a varying voltage on the grid that is used to control
the discharge tube. The circuit arrangement produces a very sharp
positive grid voltage rise. The peak value is limited by grid satura-
tion. The positive grid voltage gradually drops from the peak until a
reversed action takes place and the grid voltage drop through negative
values to cause plate current cut-off. The negative charge on C99
prevents immediate reversal of the action. The action would reverse
in time and continue even without the "sync" pulse, but this pulse
triggers the -action and produces these oscillations, at the same fre-
quency as the vertical synchronizing pulses.
The discharge tube is the second section of the 6SN7, V18, used
as the blocking oscillator. Its grid is tied directly to that of the
blocking oscillator grid so that during the non -conduction period of
the oscillator it is also cut-off. Capacitor C101 then charges
through resistors R133, R85, R82 and R132. Capacitor C101 continues
to charge until the positive pulse produced by the blocking oscillator
causes the discharge tube to conduct which discharges capacitor C101
quickly through the tube plate resistance and resistors R82 and R132.
Resistor R82 and the variable resistor R132 are placed in series with
capacitor C101 in order to produce a saw -tooth voltage of the shape
necessary to produce a linear cnange of current in deflection
coils which contain both resistance and inductance.
132
Servicing Notes on 1947-1948 F. M. and Television Receivers
The variable resistance 8133 serves to control the size of the
sweep voltage since it determines the time constant or rate at which
the capacitor charges. The variable resistance R132 is a linearity
control as it determines the amplitude of the square pulse component
which produces linear current through the inductance of the deflection
coil. Indirectly it also affects the size so a readjustment of the
size control is usually necessary when the linearity control is changed.
The output amplifier V19 is a power stage and serves to convert
the voltage wave into a current wave of the same shape. This is done
by means of the output transformer in the plate which is a step down
transformer of approximately 8/1. The second linearity control R134
affects the bias of the 6V6 output tube and, therefore, controls the
linear operating characteristic of the output stage. It tends to
correct for any non -linearity in the sweep voltage applied to the grid
or any non-linear deflection characteristic of the kinescope.
Resistances R111 and R112 shunted across the vertical deflection
coils serve to dampen any oscillation which might occur in these coils
as a result of the distributed capacity resonating with the coil induc-
tance. The Vertical Centering Control is the potentiometer R137 and
controls the amount of D.C. current through the vertical deflection
coils L72 and L74.
The horizontal deflection system generates the horizontal sweep
current. The shape of this current is similar to that in the vertical
deflection coils, but its frequency is much higher being 15,750 c.p.s.
It also incorporates an automatic frequency control system (AFC) for
synchronizing the generated sweep voltage to the frequency of the line
"Sync" pulses. It differs from the vertical "Sync" method in that
horizontal synchronization is not deterMined by each consecutive line
pulse but rather by the frequency of the line pulses, thereby, reducing
considerably the interference caused by noise pulses which tend to upset
synchronization.
The deflection system also contains discharge tube V23 for gener-
ating the desired shape of sweep voltage and an output amplifier V24 to
convert the voltage wave into a current wave in the deflection coils.
The output amplifier performs one other function and that is to gener-
ate a high pulse voltage which is rectified and used on the anode of
the kinescope.
A very high voltage results in the transformer T-7 winding from the
rapid change in plate current when the discharge tube is cut-off during
the retrace time. By using an auto -transformer arrangement in the
primary, a very high pulse voltage of approximately 10,000 volts is
developed, which is rectified by tube V25 and is applied to the kine-
scope anode. Capacitor C124, Resistor R110 and the capacity between
the inner and outer Aquadag coating on the kinescope glass, C126,
provide a filter circuit that eliminates the 15,750 c.p.s. ripple
voltage which would otherwise exist.
Cathode ray tubes using magnetic deflection present the problem of
burning the screen by the negative ions existing in the beam. These
ions are thousands of times heavier than the electrons and though
charged are little affected by the magnetic field. In an electrostatic
deflection system the ions are also acted on by the electron fields, so
this problem does not exist. To prevent the dark spot resulting from
the burning of the screen by the ions, the electron gun of the 10BP4
magnetic type cathode ray tube used in this receiver is located in the
tube at a slight angle to the axis of the tube. This causes the beam
to strike the side of the tube rather than the face. By using
the Ion Trap which is a small double coil arrangement mounted 133
Servicing Notes on 1947-1948 F. M. and Television Receivers
on the neck of the tube, a magnetic field is set up that acts on the
electrons in the beam and bends them so that they strike the tube fao.
The alignment procedure is not included in this text since our main
objective in this instance was to give the general theory of operation.
Because stagger -tuned I.F. system is used, the alignment frequencies
and procedure is critical.
Faults in a television receiver can be localized by examining vari-
ous raster distortions, or limitations in the quality of the picture
obtained. The hints given below are suggestive and can be applied to
other television receivers. It is recommended that you study these
possible faults by referring to the diagram on page 126.

FM. I.F: ALIGNMENT
In that the alignment of the I.F. stages of an F.M. receiver is inherently far more critical than is

the case in the conventional A.M. receiver the visual method using an oscilloscope and frequency modulated

signal generator should be used where such equipment is available. In case this equipment is not available

any good signal generator providing a stable signal at 10.7 Mc. may be used providing a vacuum tube volt-

meter and zero center voltmeter are used in place of the output meter. Both methods are outlined below.

Visual Alignment of F.M.-I.F. Transformers and Discriminators.

1. Equipment required.

(a) Cathode ray oscilloscope with both vertical and horizontal amplifiers and preferably with

calibrated screen.

(b) Frequency modulated signal generator providing sweep width up to approximately 400 Wc.,

preferably variable. The modulation voltage should be available at terminals to syncronize

the oscilloscope sweep.

(c) Insulated alignment tools and shielded leads for the scope and signal generator.

2. Preliminary adjustments.

(a) Set the signal generator for a center frequency of 10.7 Mc. and allow sufficient warm up

time for the generator to stabilize. It is very important that the frequency remain at

exactly 10.7 Mc. throughout the entire alignment procedure. A shift in frequency during

alignment might result in stagger tuning with consequent impairments of :vceiver performance.

(b) Turn the oscilloscope on and after focusing the beam for the smallest spot of desired bril-

liance, center the spot exently.

(c) Connect syncronize or sweep terminals of sirnal generator to the horizontal input cost on

the oscilloscope.

3. Alignment of plate reactor and discriminator.

(a) Connect output from signal generator to pin #4 of 1st limiter tube (46.77C7).

(b) Connect output cable from pin #5 of 6S8GT tube to the vertical input terminals on the scope.

(c) With the sweep or modulation control off advance the F.F. control on the sionel generator to

give a trace approximating Fig. 1.

(d) If the sweep contrpl is now advanced the trace will tilt like Fir. 2.

(0 Adjust core in L15 plate reactor for maximum vertical deflection. Note that the length of

trace increases as Fig. 3.

163
Servicing Notes on 1947-1948 F. M. and Television Receivers
(f) Align discriminator transformer by adjusting primary C60A for maximum vertical deflection,

meanwhile keeping the trace in the exact center of the screen by adjusting secondary C606.

See Fig. 4 Fig. 4

When the discriminator has been properly aligned and the generator sweep increased to about

400 We. the conventional shaped discriminator curve will be presented on the screen.

See Fig. 5.

This presentation will be helpful for final alignment and balance of the discriminator trans-

former. Make sure that the straight center position crosses the exact center of the screen

and that the distance from the .7ertical center line to each peak is approximately equal.

4. Alignment of #3 I.F. Transformer

(a) Connect input from signal generator to pin #4 on No. 2 I.F. amplifier tube (6SK7GT).

(b) Connect output cable from AVC terminal on #3 I.F. transformer to the vertical terminals on

the scope using a 50 K ohm isolating resistor at the set end of the cable.

(c) With generator sweep width set for approximately 400 be. increase R.F. output until a con-

venient pattern is presented on the screen.

(d) Adjust C42A and C42B for maximum vertical deflection with a symmetrical curve. See Fig. 6.

Servicing Notes on 1947-1948 F. M. and Television Receivers

5. Alignment of No. 2 I.F. Transformer

(a) Connect input from signal generator to pin #4 of No. 1 I.F. tube (6SK7GT). The output

connection remains at the AVC terminal of the 3rd I.F. transformer.

(b) Align C33A and C33B per instructiens and diagram in (c) and (d) above.

6. Alignment of No. 1 I.F. Transformer

(a) Connect input from signal generator to Pin #6 on the converter tube (7Q7). (Note: There

will be an apparent reduction in gain here due to the short circuiting effect of the F.V.

detector coil but this may be compensated for by increasing the generator output. If the

generator output is still too low the lead from 7Q7 pin #6 to the wave band switch may be

unsoldered thus removing the short circuit).

(b) Align C27A and C27B per instructions in (c) and (d) Par. 4. See Fig. 6.

7. Caution: Do not try to "touch up" or worse yet completly align the I.F. channel by applying

the signal to the converter grid. To do so will almost certainly result in misalignment of

one stage to compensate for the poor alignment of another.

8. For alignment of the A.M. -I.F. transformers see alignment chart. Operation 12

Servicing Notes on 1947-1948 F. M. and Television Receivers
FREQUENCY MODULATION -
INSTRUMENTS: Alignment of the FM circuits in this receiver may be accomplished with either a conventional AM type signal generator or an
FM signal generator. The output indicator should be an oscilloscope or a vacuum tube voltmeter.

Although it is preferable to use an FM generator and an oscilloscope, reasonably accurate alignment is obtainable when using a conventional
AM generator and a vacuum tube voltmeter providing proper care is exercised in adjusting the discriminator circuit trimmer condenser.
IMPORTANT: If an AM signal generator is used, it should be capable of producing fundamental frequencies of 10.7 and 88 to 108 MC. Avoid
using an AM generator which produces signals in the 88 to 108 MC range by using harmonics higher than the second. Generators which are
dependent upon third, fourth or fifth harmonics for frequencies of 88 to 108 MC will generally produce undesireable spurious beat signals with
the local oscillator in the receiver and alignment will be exceedingly difficult.

The following procedure is adaptable for use with either an AM or FM generator and oscilloscope or vacuum tube voltmeter,-merely follow
the instructions that are applicable to the instruments that are used.

align the AM channel first, then align the FM channel as instructed
1. If alignment of both AM and FM channels is required it is necessary to
in the following chart
2. Before removing the chassis trom the cabinet, turn the tuning control until dial pointer is at 98 MC. Then remove chassis and place a pencil
mark on dial frame so as to indicate the 98 MC calibration point.

3. Do not attempt to reposition pointer by releasing it from clip on dial card as this is done only during AM alignment.

4. Set the receiver volume control to the maximum volume position.

5, Dress FM circuit leads as short and straight as possible, particularly those in the oscillator circuit. I.F. plate and grid leads should also be
kept short and straight.

6. Alignment of receiver circuits may now be accomplished by using the procedure in the chart below.

BROADCAST BAND - "AM" - ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE
1. Remove chassis and loop antenna from cabinet.
2. With the gang fully meshed, the dial pointer should be in the position indicated by the last mark below 55 on the dial, If it is set
incorrectly, release the pointer clip on the dial cord and reposition pointer.
3. During the alignment of this receiver, it will be necessary to set the dial pointer to the following frequencies: 1500 Kc., and 600 Kc. In
order to avoid replacing the chassis in the cabinet each time a dial setting is required, it will be found more convenient to mark the
required frequency points on the white dial background before starting the alignment.
4. Connect an output meter across speaker voice coil or from plate of the SOBS tube to B - through a 0.1 Mfd. condenser (see voltage chart
for convenient B- connection).
5. Connect ground lead of signal generator to B- lug.
CAUTION: If your signal generator is designed with an AC -DC type power supply, connect ground lead of signal generator to B lug
through a .25 Mfd. condenser.
6. Set volume control to the maximum volume position and use a wea'r signal from the signal generator.
7. If alignment of both AM and FM channels is required, it
is necessary to align the AM channel first; then align the FM channel as
instructed in the preceding section.
