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.

* 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.

secondary (top) for maximum output.
(b) Connect the Shunt from diode plate (pin No. 4) of 6SQ7 tube socket to the shielded lead junction on
transformer (8). Adjust primary (bottom) for maximum output. Remove Shunt.
2. (a) Place Shunt from plate of the 6SG7 tube socket (A) to the transformer side of 2200 ohm resistor (106),
See "Shunts (1)". Adjust secondary (bottom) for maximum output.
(b) Connect the Shunt from grid of the 6SG7 tube socket (B) to Transformer side of 68,000 ohm resistor
(109). Adjust primary (top) for maximum output. Remove Shunt.
3. (a) Adjust secondary (bottom) core for null point.
(b) Tune Signal Generator for maximum Output Meter reading, approximately 75 to 100 kc. off the null
point obtained in 3 (a), and note reading.
(c) Tune Signal Generator to the opposite side of the null point for maximum reading on the Output Meter.
Note this reading. If the two readings are not equal, adjust primary (top) core until equal readings
are obtained.
4. (a) Set Signal Generator to peak on high side of 10.7 mc. and adjust primary (top) and secondary (bottom)
for maximum output. Note meter reading.
(b) Set Signal Generator to peak on low side of 10.7 mc. and note reading. If necessary, readjust primary
(top) and secondary (bottom), slightly, until Output Meter readings and frequency spacing are equal
on both sides of the 10.7 mc. null point.
5. (a) Connect Signal Generator output in series with a 30 mmf. condenser to either lug of the F. M. antenna
transformer primary Trimmer (60). Connect Signal Generator ground to the receiver chassis at a point
close to the trimmer. Keep lead lengths to a minimum and do not drape shielded cable, from Signal
Generator output, near under side of chassis.
(b) Set Signal Generator to peak on high side of 10.7 mc. and adjust 10.7 mc. primary (bottom) of trans-
former (2). Adjust 10.7 mc. secondary (top) of transformer (3). These two adjustments should be
adjusted for maximum output. Note reading on Output Meter.
(c) Set Signal Generator to peak on low side of 10.7 mc. and note Output Meter reading. If meter readings
obtained on the peaks on both sides of 10.7 mc. are not equal, readjust the 10.7 mc. primary of trans-
former (2), and the 10.7 mc. secondary of transformer (3). The peaks should appear approximately
80 kc. on each side of 10.7 mc.
6. (a) Set Signal Generator frequency control for maximum output. Adjust 5825 kc. secondary Trimmer and
secondary link adjustment, on bottom of transformer (3), for maximum output.
7. (a) Adjust 5825 kc. primary trimmer (bottom) and 5825 kc. primary link adjustment (top) of transformer

(b) Preset F. M. radiation balance adjustment (57), on top of chassis, to approximately two turns from
the closed position.
(c) Short circuit F. M. antenna primary trimmer (60), located on bottom of chassis, with Hairpin Shorting
Shunt See "Shunts (2),"
(d) Adjust F. M. antenna secondary trimmer (58), on bottom of chassis, for maximum output.
(e) Transfer Shorting Shunt to F. M. antenna secondary Trimmer (58) and adjust F. M. antenna primary
Trimmer (60) for maximum output.
25
Servicing Notes on 1947-1948 F. M. and Television Receivers
(f) Remove Shorting Shunt.
9. (a) Adjust F. M. oscillator core (131), slowly, until 97.9 mc. signal is tuned in. Receiver should tune thru
87.9 and 107.9 mc. signal (channel 200 and 300).
10. (a) Connect Field Strength Meter to dipole antenna terminals, on back of chassis.
(b) Adjust F. M. radiation balance trimmer (57), on top of chassis, to null point. If it is necessary to move
this trimmer more than a quarter turn, repeat steps 8 and 10.
Alternate Method :-Connect a D.C. Vacumn Tube Voltmeter to No. 1 lug of 7F8 tube socket and adjust F. M.
radiation balance trimmer for maximum grid volt reading.
11. (a) Set Signal Generator to 9.6 mc. modulated 30e'c at 400 cycles.
(b) Turn volume control to maximum.
(c) Adjust short-wave series padder (55), on top of chassis, for maximum output.
12. (a) Adjust short-wave oscillator core, on bottom of chassis, for maximum output. Repeat steps 11 and 12
until dial tracks at 9.6 and 11.8 mc.
13. (a) Shunt short-wave antenna primary padder (51), (lug connected to coil) to chassis with a Shorting Clip.
(b) Increase Signal Generator output if necessary.
(c) Adjust short-wave antenna secondary trimmer (59), for maximum output, while rocking variable
condenser.
(d) Transfer the Shorting Clip to across the short-wave antenna secondary trimmer (59).
(e) Adjust short-wave antenna primary padder (51), for maximum output, while rocking variable conden-
ser.
(f) Remove Shorting Clip.
14. (a) Connect Field Strength Meter from Signal Generator side of 30 mmf. condenser to chassis.
(b) Increase or decrease Signal Generator output until Field Strength Meter reads between 10 and 15
microamperes.
(c) Adjust short-wave antenna primary padder (51), for lowest reading on Field Strength Meter. Make
this adjustment slowly, otherwise the dip may be passed unnoticed when a highly damped meter is used.
(d) Disconnect Field Strength Meter.
Alternate Method: After the receiver is installed in cabinet, turn band switch to F. M. position and tune in an
F. M. station. If a 10.7 kc. signal (indicated by a whistle or code) is heard in the speaker, adjust the short-wave
antenna primary (51) until the interferring signal disappears or is minimized. Make this adjustment slowly.
Connect Dummy Loop Antenna to Signal Web Antenna terminal and to ground terminal (See "Dummy
Antennas (2)."
Preset broadcast antenna wave trap (85), on top of chassis, to approximately two turns from the closed
position.
Adjust broadcast oscillator series padder (56), on top of chassis, for maximum output.
16. (a) Adjust broadcast oscillator core, on bottom of chassis, for maximum output.
(b) Repeat steps 15 to 16 until frequency shift stops.
17. (a) Adjust broadcast antenna trimmer, on top of variable condenser, for maximum output.
18. (a) Adjust broadcast antenna core (132), on top of chassis, for maximum output while rocking variable
condenser.
26
Servicing Notes on 1947-1948 F. M. and Television Receivers
19. (a) Set dial pointer to approximately 1400 kc. and retune Signal Generator to maximum output.
(b) Adjust Signal Generator output to approximately midseaie reading on the Output Meter.
(c) Adjust broadcast antenna wave trap trimmer (85), for lowest reading on Output Meter.
(e) All Air Trimmers should be locked in position by applying a drop of household cement on the screw
threads.

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

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.

signal modulated 30% at 400 cycles to the receiver as indicated in
the chart above. Connect signal generator ground terminal to the
chassis of the receiver. When F.M. generator is used, a 30% modu-

Servicing Notes on 1947-1948 F. M. and Television Receivers
The detailed alignment instructions presented below, and the resulting
patterns illustrated on the next two pages, will not only assist you ih
carrying out necessary alignment of the Du Mont Model RA -101 television
receiver, but will also serve as instructions for clearly understanding
the effect of various adjustments on the response. In general, the same
information can be applied to any modern television set. Please bear
in mind that these patterns were obtained on a separate oscilloscope
connected as instructed. To obtain the values of voltage A and B, a
source of measureable and controlled voltage is applied with the con-
trols of the test oscilloscope unchanged for the particular test, see
page 45. For instructions of the connections see diagram on page 37.

ALIGNMENT
To set pointer turn variable condenser fully closed and set pointer to last reference mark at low frequency end of dial.
To inject signal in Steps 5, 6 and 7, remove 6BE6 and connect wire to pin I. Replace tube, making certain that wire does
not short to shield base. In Step 9, connect two 100,000 ohm resistors in series from pin 7 of 6AL5 to chassis. These resistors
should be equal within 5%. After Step 9, turn variable condenser fully counterclockwise and check adjustment of FM tun-
ing unit per dial cord drawing. Loop should be maintained in same relative position to chassis as when receiver is in cabinet.
Volume control should be at maximum position; output of signal generator should be no higher than necessary to obtain an
output reading. Use an insulated alignment 'screwdriver for ad jus ing.

In late production receivers where the rectifier V23 is a
Type 5Y3G tube, the cathode and control grid voltages of
V8 will be approximately 25 volts less.
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.

AM generator.
K.Should 90 MC. signal not fall in at 90 MC. on the dial, adjust P.M. Osc. Coil to correct
calibration. It is only necessary to slightly press together or open spacing on one turn
to do so. Now adjust slug (15).

NOTE: 1. A much more satisfactory IF and discriminator alignment may be obtained by using a 10.7 MC Signal generator frequency modulated
a
a)
at an audio frequency and swept approximately 600 KC (±300 KC). An oscilloscope should be connected to Test jack pin 3 and all F+
IF screws adjusted for a symmetrical pattern of highest amptitude. See Fig. 1. For discriminator alignment, connect scope to 41

Test jack pin 1 and adjust T5 for highest symmetrical pattern. See Fig. 2. bi

2. In all FM alignment calling for a voltage measurement at Test jack pin 3 (limiter grid resistor) keep signal generator output to
such a value as will result in approximately 2 volts measured avacuum Tube voltmeter such as the Voltohmyst, Vomax or equiv.

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 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

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

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

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.

"FM" - ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE
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.
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.

A vacuum tube voltmeter with an isolation resistor of 200,000 ohms In series with the hot lead will
serve for FM adjustments. This lead must be shielded. ss
An ordinary AC output meter connected across the primary or secondary of the output transformer will Ci
be satisfactory for all AM adjustments.
The signal generator output should be kept just high enough to get an indication on the meter.
(a) Vacuum Tube Voltmeter pin 5 on discriminator transformer to chassis (half discriminator load.)
(b) Vacuum Tube Voltmeter pin 7 on discriminator transformer to chassis (full discriminator load).
(c) Vacuum Tube Voltmeter 65E7 limiter grid (pin 4 to chassis).
(d)300 ohm watt carbon resistor soldered across the secondary L18 (pin 2 and 3 of 2nd IF trans.).
W The leads to the resistor must be as short as possible and the resistor removed before operation
ask 13 is started.
