INSTALLATION

OF

KINESCOPE—The

kinescope

second

anode

contact

is

a

recessed

metal

well

in

the

side

of

the

bulb.

The

tube

must

be

installed

so

that

this

contact

is

approximately

on

top.

The

final

orientation

of

the

tube

will

be

determined

by

the

position

of

the

ion

trap

flags.

Looking

at

the

kinescope

gun

structure,

it

will

be

observed

that

the

second

cylinder

from

the

base

inside

the

glass

neck

is

provided

with

two

small

metal

flags,

as

shown

in

Figure

4.

The

kinescope

must

be

installed

so

that

when

looking

down

on

the

chassis,

the

two

flags

will

be

seen

as

shown

in

Figure

Insert

the

neck

of

the

kinescope

through

the

deflection

until

the

base

of

the

tube

protrudes

approximately

two

inches

beyond

the

focus

coil.

If

the

tube

sticks,

or

fails

to

slip

into

place

smoothly,

investi¬

gate

and

remove

the

cause

of

the

trouble.

Do

not

force

the

tube.

Early

production

receivers

employed

an

EM

type

of

ion

trap

magnet

like

that

in

the

model

630TS

receiver.

Late

production

receivers

employed

a

PM

type

magnet

as

shown

in

Figure

2.

If

an

EM

type

of

magnet

is

applied,

slip

the

assembly

over

the

neck

of

the

kinescope

with

the

coils

down

and

the

large

coil

towards

the

base

of

the

tube.

Tighten

the

magnet

ad¬

justment

thumbscrews

sufficiently

to

hold

it

in

position

but

still

free

enough

to

permit

adjustment.

If

the

PM

type

is

employed,

slip

the

assembly

over

the

neck

of

the

kinescope

with

the

large

magnet

towards

the

base

of

the

tube

and

with

the

arrow

on

the

assembly

up

as

shown

in

Figure

2.

The

front

magnet

is

movable

on

the

assembly.

The

correct

position

of

the

front

magnet

is

with

the

gap

on

the

left

side

(from

the

rear

of

the

cabinet)

and

even

with

the

gap

of

the

rear

magnet.

Connect

the

kinescope

socket

to

the

tube

base.

Insert

the

kinescope

until

the

face

of

the

tube

protrudes

approximately

one-quarter

of

an

inch

outside

the

front

of

the

cabinet.

Ad¬

just

the

four

centering

slides

until

the

face

of

the

kinescope

is

in

the

center

of

the

cabinet

opening.

Tighten

the

four

slides

securely.

Wipe

the

ANTENNA

TRAP—In

some

instances

interference

may

be

en¬

countered

from

FM

stations

that

are

on

the

image

frequency

of

a

television

station.

In

other

instances

interference

between

two

television

stations

may

be

observed.

Assume

that

two

television

stations

in

a

city

are

operating

on

channels

6

and

10.

When

the

receiver

is

tuned

to

channel

6,

a

small

amount

of

the

oscillator

voltage

(109

me.)

is

present

on

the

r-f

amplifier

grid.

This

109

me.

voltage

beats

with

the

channel

10

picture

carrier

and

produces

an

84.25

me.

signal.

This

signal

falls

within

the

channel

6

range

and

interferes

with

the

reception

of

channel

6.

A

similar

case

occurs

be¬

tween

channels

5

and

7.

A

series

resonant

trap

across

ther-f

amplifier

grid

circuit

is

employed

to

remove

theoscillator

voltage

from

the

grids

and

thus

eliminate

this

type

of

interference.

To

adjust

the

trap

in

the

field,

tune

in

the

station

on

which

the

interference

is

observed.

Tune

both

cores

of

the

trap

for

minimum

interference

in

the

picture.

See

Figure

8

for

the

lo¬

cation

of

the

trap.

Keep

both

cores

approximately

the

same

by

visual

inspection.

Then,

turn

one

core

V

turn

from

the

original

position

and

repeak

the

second

for

maximum

tion

Repeat

this

process

until

the

best

rejection

is

obtained.

For

shop

alignment

of

the

trap

see

the

alignment

procedure

on

page

11.

In

severe

cases

of

interference,

it

may

be

necessary

to

reduce

the

signal

from

the

interfering

station

by

reorienting

the

an¬

tenna

or

by

connecting

a

half

wave

stub

of

transmission

line

across

the

receiver

antenna

terminals.

The

Service

Precautions—If

necessary

to

remove

the

chassis

from

cabinet,

the

kinescope

must

first

be

removed.

See

Figures

3

and

5.

If

possible,

the

chassis

should

then

be

serviced

without

the

kinescope.

However,

if

it

is

necessary

to

view

the

raster

during

servicing,

the

kinescope

should

be

inserted

only

after

the

chassis

is

turned

on

end.

The

kinescope

should

never

be

allowed

to

support

its

weight

by

resting

in

the

deflecting

yoke.

A

bracket

should

be

used

to

support

the

tube

at

its

viewing

screen.

By

turning

the

chassis

on

end

with

the

power

transformer

down,

all

adjustments

will

be

made

conveniently

available.

Since

this

is

the

only

safe

position

in

which

the

chassis

will

rest

and

still

leave

all

adjustments

accessible,

the

trimmer

location

drawings

are

oriented

similarly

for

ease

ol

use.

CAUTION:

Do

not

short

the

kinescope

second

anode

lead.

Its

short

circuit

current

is

approximately

3

ma.

This

repre¬

sents

approximately

9

watts

dissipation

and

a

considerable

overload

on

the

high

voltage

filter

resistor

R235.

Adjustments

Required—Normally,

only

the

r-f

oscillator

line

will

require

the

attention

of

the

service

technician.

All

other

circuits

are

either

broad

or

very

stable

and

hence

will

seldom

require

re-adjustment.

Due

to

the

high

frequencies

at

which

the

receiver

operates

the

r-f

oscillator

line

adjustment

is

critical

and

may

be

affected

by

a

tube

change.

The

line

can

be

adjusted

to

proper

frequency

on

channel

13

with

practically

any

6J6

tube

in

the

oscillator

socket.

However,

it

may

not

then

be

possible

to

adjust

the

line

to

frequency

on

all

of

channels

7,

8,

9,

10,

11

and

12.

To

be

satisfactory

as

an

oscillator

tube,

it

should

be

possible

to

adjust

the

line

to

proper

frequency

with

the

fine

tuning

control

in

the

middle

third

of

its

range.

It

may

therefore

be

necessary

to

select

a

tube

for

the

oscillator

socket.

In

replac¬

ing,

if

the

old

tube

can

be

matched

for

frequency

by

trying

several

new

ones,

this

practice

is

recommended.

At

best,

however,

it

will

probably

be

necessary

to

completely

realign

the

oscillator

line

when

changing

the

tube.

Tubes

which

cannot

be

used

as

oscillator

will

work

satisfac¬

torily

as

r-f

amplifier

or

converter.

ORDER

OF

ALIGNMENT—When

I-F

Oscillation—If

the

receiver

is

badly

misaligned

and

two

or

more

of

the

i-f

transformers

are

tuned

to

the

same

frequency,

the

receiver

may

fall

into

i-f

oscillation.

I-F

oscilla¬

tion

shows

up

as

a

voltage

in

excess

of

3

volts

at

the

picture

detector

load

resistor.

This

voltage

is

unaffected

by

r-f

signal

input

and

sometimes

is

independent

of

picture

control

setting.

If

such

a

condition

is

encountered,

it

is

sometimes

possible

to

stop

oscillation

by

adjusting

the

transformers

approximately

to

frequency

by

setting

the

adjustment

stud

extensions

of

T2,

T103,

T104,

T105,

TT102,

and

L185

to

be

approximately

equal

to

those

of

another

receiver

known

to

be

in

proper

alignment.

If

this

does

not

have

the

desired

effect,

it

may

now

be

possible

to

stop

oscillation

by

increasing

the

grid

bias.

If

so,

it

should

then

be

possible

to

align

the

transformers

by

the

usual

method.

Once

aligned

in

this

manner,

the

i-f

should

be

stable

with

reduced

bias.

If

the

oscillation

cannot

be

stopped

in

the

above

manner,

shunt

the

grids

of

the

first

three

pix

i-f

amplifiers

to

ground

with

1000

mmf.

capacitors.

Connect

the

signal

generator

to

the

fourth

pix

i-f

grid

and

align

LI85

to

frequency.

Pro¬

gressively

remove

the

shunt

from

each

grid

and

align

the

plate

coil

of

that

stage

to

frequency.

If

this

does

not

stop

the

oscillation,

the

difficulty

is

not

due

to

i-f

misalignment

as

the

i-f

section

is

very

stable

when

prop¬

erly

aligned.

Check

all

i-f

by-pass

condensers,

transformer

shunting

and

the

In

making

these

adjust¬

ments,

the

should

be

kept

approxi¬

Check

the

8

through

by

switching

the

receiver

channel

switch,

sweep

and

marker

oscillator

to

each

of

these

channels

and

observe

the

response

obtained.

See

Figure

17

for

typical

It

should

be

found

that

all

these

channels

have

the

proper

shaped

re¬

sponse

with

the

markers

above

70%

response.

It

the

markers

do

not

fall

within

this

requirement

on

one

or

more

high

fre¬

quency

channels,

since

there

are

no

individual

channel

ad¬

justments,

it

will

be

necessary

to

readjust

L25,

L26,

L51

and

L52,

and

possibly

compromise

some

channel

slightly

in

order

to

get

the

markers

up

on

other

channels.

Normally

however,

no

difficulty

of

this

type

should

be

experienced

since

the

higher

frequency

channels

become

comparatively

broad

and

the

markers

easily

fall

within

the

required

range.

Channel

6

is

in

the

same

manner.

Set

the

receiver

to

channel

Set

the

sweep

to

cover

channel

Set

the

Adjust

L11,

L12,

L37

and

L38,

for

an

approximately

flat-topped

response

curve

located

symmetrically

between

the

markers.

Check

channels

5

down

through

channel

1

by

switching

the

receiver,

sweep

oscillator

and

marker

oscillator

to

each

chan¬

nel

and

observing

the

response

obtained.

In

all

cases,

the

markers

should

be

above

the

70%

response

point.

If

this

is

not

the

case,

LI

I,

L12,

L37

and

L.38

should

be

retouched.

On

final

adjustment,

all

channels

must

be

within

the

70%

spec¬

ification.

Coupling

between

r-f

and

converter

lines

is

augmented

by

a

link

between

LI2

and

L37.

This

link

is

adjusted

in

the

factory

and

should

not

require

adjustment

in

the

field.

On

channel

6

with

the

link

in

the

minimum

coupling

position,

the

response

is

slightly

overcoupled

with

approximately

a

10%

excursion

from

peak-to-valley.

With

the

coupling

at

maximum,

the

response

is

somewhat

broader

and

the

peak-to-valley

ex¬

cursion

is

approximately

40%.

The

amount

of

coupling

per¬

missible

is

limited

by

the

peak-to-valley

excursion

which

should

not

be

greater

than

30%

on

any

channel.

and

adjusting

the

In

this

latter

case

the

must

first

have

been
