PREFACE AND INTRODUCTION

Again in the year 1950, it is our pleasure to


present a new television manual. The excellent re-
reption given by the servicing profession to previous
T -V volumes issued in 1948 and 1949, indicates the
need for low priced material on television servicing.
The new 1950 "Television Servicing Information" manual
covers all popular models of leading manufacturers.
There are more models covered in this new volume and
there is more servicing instruction --and less circuit
explanations. This manual will not only give you spe-
cific information on servicing all popular present day
television sets, but is diversified enough to serve as
your guide in servicing any other television receiver
of this period.

To the television set manufacturers whose products


are described in this manual, we extend our sincere
thanks and appreciation for their fine cooperation and
assistance that made this manual possible.

Admiral 20Z1 television chassis is similar to the 20Y1 chassis;


the only difference is in the front panel operating controls.
The 4S1 (AM) radio chassis (and 1PA2 power supply) used in com-
bination models with 20Z1, are similar to 4L1 radio chassis and
1PA1 power supply covered in this manual. In the 4S1, switching
the radio-phono switch to the center position shuts off the phono
motor while the set stays "on." The 5B2 (AM -FM) radio chassis
used in some combinations, is similar to chassis 4E1.

ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE
The alignment of a Television receiver is a procedure that must be followed very carefully in
order that the end result is comparable to that obtained when aligned at the factory.
Before attempting to align, +he serviceman must be sure that alignment is required.
If +here is any doubt in the serviceman's mind regarding the need for alignment, a quick check
can be made by viewing the overall response of the video IF strip. This is accomplished by per-
forming step No. 6 in the alignment procedure.

EQUIPMENT NEEDED
Sweep Generator
This generator should be capable of putting out a band of frequencies from about 20 to 30
megacycles. Some means for identifying the frequency of various parts of the response curve must
be available. To effect this, the sweep generator must either have an internal marker circuit or an
external RF generator to perform the same function, will have to be used.
In the alignment table under +he heading "Type of Input Signal Required," the description
"Wobbulated and unmodulated RF" means that both the sweep generator output (wobbulator) and
+he unmodulated RF generator are to be fed into the point designated. It should be understood that
both these units will have to be used if +he sweep generator does not have an internal marker gen-
erator.
If, however, +he sweep generator has an internal marker generator only the output from this one
unit need be fed into the designated point.

Oscilloscope
An oscilloscope is used as a means of visually indicating the response of the stage or stages
under observation.
All of this equipment must be securely grounded to the receiver being aligned. This grounding
can be accomplished by using a metal top bench, preferably copper. If such a bench is not avail-
able, these units should be bonded together by the use of heavy metal braid between the chassis.
Ordinary wire is not enough to effectively place all units at +he same potential.
Once the equipment is set in place, the generators and receiver should be allowed to run a+
least 15 minutes before starting to align.
Additional equipment necessary for alignment is what is referred to as a OAKS adapter tube.
This is simply a 6AK5 with a fine wire soldered to pin No. I. It may be necessary to fasten this wire
to the side of the tube with scotch tape to prevent it shortening against the bottom of the shield.
This tube is used to permit feeding the generator output into the grid of the mixer stage without dis-
turbing the Inputuner.
In +he procedure, reference is made to the use of a "Probe Detector." This device is merely a
crystal rectifier with the necessary filter. Its purpose is to permit the observation of the response
of a single stage when viewed ahead of the video detector.

NOTES:

I. Unmodulated and amplitude modulated RF should cover 20 to 30 mc range. Also 4.5 mc. Not
necessary if marker is built into sweep frequency generator.
2. Should have center frequency range from 20 to 30 mc. Sweep should be adjustable up to 6 mc
a+ least.
3. We recommend use of internal saw -tooth sweep. Waveforms shown were taken using this
sweep. External sweep from sweep frequency generator may be used if preferred.

MOST -OFTEN -NEEDED 1950 TELEVISION INFORMATION
ALIGNMENT SET-UP
I. Keep all coax cables as short and as well shielded as possible.
2. Ground metal bench to a good earth ground.
3. To test set-up feed signal into grid of mixer thru a 100 mmf condenser. If placing hand on any
chassis or adding additional g ounds at any point affects waveform or if Teleset has a tendency
to oscillate, grounding must be added until these effects disappear.

1LIGNMENT OF' TELESETS WITH LOCAL DISTANCE SWITCH


With L D switch in L position and the shunt capacitor set at approximately
1/2 of its total capacity, the receiver should be aligned using the normal alignment
procedure. After set has been aligned place local -distance switch in distance position
and turn contrast full on. Tune set to a very weak test pattern. Adjust L206 for
maximum signal. Now place L -D switch in L position, tune set to a strong test pattern
and adjust C310 for best picture quality. No other adjustment should have to be made.

EMERSON RADIO AND PHONOGRAPH CORPORATION
MODELS 631 AND 632
CHASSIS MODELS 120109B AND I20096B
Models 631 and 632 are direcz-view television receivers using metal -shell type
16AP4 kinescopes. Model 631 is a table model receiver providing television only,
and uses chassis 1206098. Model 632 is a console receiver providing TV, AM, FM, and
PHONO facilities. Separate 78 rpm and 45 rpm record changers are used in this model
which employs chassis 1200968.

Both models contain advanced design features including keyed AGC, intercarrier
sound, a.f.c. in the horizontal sync circuit, and a transformer -type cascade (series)
low -voltage power supply. Model 632 uses a double conversion i -f system for FM
reception.
a. The operation of chassis 1200968 on FM involves a double conversion arrange-
ment and makes use of the video i -f system, video detector, and sound i -f, discrimi-
nator, and audio amplifier circuits.
b. The input from the television antenna is fed through a matching coil (L22) and
coaxial cable to the converter and oscillator (F'V-1). Operation is controlled by a
three -section switch which feeds the signal from the coaxial cable (Sec. 3 -Rear) to
a tuned circuit (LI9, C106). A four -section variable condenser is used for FM and AM
tuning. The r -f mixes with the oscillator (L18, C104) which is 23.5 MC. higher, and
produces the first FM i -f of 23.5 MC. The signal is coupled through the first FM i -f
transformer (T15) to the i -f amplifier (AV -I). The output of AV -I is fed through the
primary of T14 and the switch (Sec. 2 -Rear) to a single tuned circuit (L24) which
feeds the second video i -f (V2). Note that although T14 is an AM i -f transformer
(456 KC.) the primary trimmer provides coupling for the FM signal to the switch.

c. The broadband characteristic of the video i -f stages provide amplification of


the first FM i -f (23.5 MC.) up to the video detector (V5). A fixed frequency hetero-
dyne oscillator (V10) produces a 28 MC. signal (L23, C46) which is coupled to V5 and
produces a 4.5 MC. signal. The resulting second FM i -f (4.5 MC.) is amplified by
the sound i -f channel as for normal intercarrier television operation.

The material on pages 39 to 48A covers the basic service infor-


mation on Emerson models 571, 606, 611, 612, 619, 620, 624, 627,
and 638. These sets have used several different chassis, three
different tuners, and had other minor changes. The circuit in the
blueprint on fold -out page 48A, is of the 120087 chassis. The suf-
fix letters B and D indicate the use of different size raster masks,
while chassis 120092B and 120107B indicates modification to accom-
modate a 12" tube, with 120092B used in console cabinets with larger
speaker. Chassis 120086B is similar to the one illustrated, but
does not use selenium rectifiers, but type 25Z6 tubes. All these
chassis use intercarrier sound systems. The earlier chassis 120066,
and also having suffix B, use separate video and audio I.F. channels,
and while they are similar in many respects require different align-
ment and service instructions.

NOTE: The Ratio Detector Transformer, T6, is one of three types,
depending upon the period of production. In earlier sets, trans-
former types "A" and "B" are used, having the primary slug (the
adjustment for maximum voltmeter deflection) on bottom, and the
secondary slug (the adjustment for zero output between plus and
minus peaks) on top. In later production receivers, a transfor-
mer of type "C" is used, having the position of the slugs reversed,
the primary being on top and secondary on bottom. Type "A" can
height is 1-5/16", type "B" height is 2i", and both types have
straight lugs. Type "C" can is 3" high, and it has wire loops.

MODEL 830
Material presented on pages 53 to 60 inclusive deals specifi-
cally with General Electric Television Receiver Model 830, and
this material is reproduced through the courtesy of General Elec-
tric Co. However, servicemen will find that these service notes
will apply, but with a few exceptions, to the television portion
of the General Electric Model 820 combination. Of major difference
is the switching arrangement of Model 820 to switch over to Radio
and Phonograph use, and a different type audio output tube and
type of circuit. The Model 840 combination is also very similar,
in its television section, to Model 830 which is described in
these pages. General Electric Model 835 is a straight television
set and is also very similar to Model 830. However, Model 835
uses a 10FP4 (10 -inch) picture tube.

JOHN MECK INDUSTRIES, INC. Alignment Procedure for
Models: XS -786, XT -785, XR-778, XF-777, XN-752, XQ-776

Equipment required: Television Sweep Generator, Marker Frequency


Generator, Vacuum Tube Voltmeter, Oscilloscope, 4.5 MC fixed
frequency Generator or equivalent.
Instructions are presented for carrying out I.F. and Sound
alignment. The R.F. Tuner in these receivers have been pre -
aligned by the manufacturer and it is not recommended that
adjustment be made in the field. The fine tuning control
will move the oscillator frequency at least 3/4 MC on the
low channels and 2 MC on the high channels.
I.F. Alignment
1. Connect VTVM and the input terminal of the scopes' vertical
amplifier to the juncture of 8200 ohm resistor and 410 uh choke
this is immediately following the video detector, the 8200 o'nns
being the resistor portion of the detector load. I.F. signal
may be introduced by means of a miniature tube shield floated
over the 6AG5 mixer tube.
2. r:ith the sweep off and the marker freq. set to 23.3 mc, adjust
the 1st and 3rd T F. coils for maximum response, as indicated by
VTVM. Generator should be attenuated so as not to provide more
than threshold sensitivity (1 volt on VTVM at fixed freq., 1/2
volt on sweep).
3. Re -set marker frequency to 25.6 mc and adjust 2nd and 4th I.F.
transformers for maximum VTVIJI indication, as above

4. With sweep turned on observe I.F. curve shape on oscilloscope -


the knee of the curve should be at approximately 23.5 & 25.5 mc. If
original alignment did riot produce satisfactory curve, it may be
modified by adjusting the I.F. tuning slightly, while observing
the curve on the scope. Care must be taken that both peaks are
approximately the same height and that the mid -portion of the curve
is not down more than about 2db. The sound rides at 21.6 mc and
this point should be checked to make sure that it is at least 26db
below the flat top. The picture frequency rides the curve at 26.1
mc and should be 6db down on the opposite side of the curve. The
curve should be about 3 mc wide at 6db down (1/2 way down).
Sound Alignment
1. Connect 4.5 mc generator to the grid of the video amplifier
tube (There again, low signal level is important, so that
limiting action does not occur.). Metering may be accom-
plished at the sound take -off point of the ratio detector
(at the juncture of the 15,000 ohm resistor and the 3900 mmf
capacitor).

2. Adjust the top and bottom slugs on the sound trans. for maxi-
mum response.

3. Adjust primary of ratio detector (top slug) to maximum.


4. Connect meter ground to the juncture of the two 6800 ohm

72 resistors off the sound detector, and adjust bottom slug on


ratio detector to Zero voltage.

DESCRIPTION OF CHASSIS

Chassis TS -15. This television chassis contains 22 tubes, plus a 12", type 12LP4, picture tube. The circuit differs from
the conventional one in that the vertical output transformer is eliminated, and high impedance vertical deflection coils are
fed directly from a 6SN7GT output amplifier tube.

Chassis TS -15A. Same as Chassis TS -15, except that the 6V6GT vertical output amplifier tube was eliminated, and a vertical
output transformer was added. In addition, provision is made to use either a 12LP4 or 1214 picture tube. As the two types
of picture tubes require different focus coils, a plug and receptacle are provided to facilitate the change. This chassis
uses 21 tubes, plus a 12LP4 picture tube. The 12KP4 type picture tube is not furnished in any of the receivers, but must be
provided by the customer if he so desires.

Chassis TS -15B. New noise limiting, video amplifier, pulse stripping and horizontal sync systems were incorporated in this
chassis. The third video IF amplifier tube, a 6BA6, wee replaced by a 6AG5 type for greater IF gain. The receptacle on the
TS -15A chassis, used for different focus coils, was removed from the TS -15B chassis. Two trimmer adjustments, "Horizontal
Lock -in' and "Horizontal Fine Frequency" were eliminated from the rear of the chassis, and the "Horizontal Oscillator" coil
was re -mounted to make its adjustment accessible from the rear. The tube total in this chassis is 23, plus a 12LP4 picture
tube.

Chassis TS -15C. Similar to chassis TS -15B, except that a new RF tuner with variable antenna trimmers and new antenna coils
is used, to improve overall sensitivity.

Chassis TS -15C1. Same as TS -15C, except that V-20, the 5V4G damping diode tube vas replaced with a 6W4GT type, the 5 volt

HORIZONTAL SIZE, DRIVE AND LINEARITY ADJUSTMENT

Turn HORIZONTAL SIZE control fully clockwise. Vary HORIZONTAL DRIVE trimmer for best compromise between brightnes
and horizontal linearity. Adjust the HORIZONTAL SIZE control until picture fills the mask horizontally. Clockwise rotation
increases picture width. Adjust HORIZONTAL LINEARITY control for beet horizontal linearity on right half of picture. Ad-
justment of the HORIZONTAL SIZE will require a readjustment of the HORIZONTAL LINEARITY control and vice-versa. Center pic-
ture with centering screws on focus coil.

HORIZONTAL OSCILLATOR CHECK (CHASSIS TS -15 & TS -15A)

Obtain a picture on the set with approximately normal contrast. Vary the HORIZONTAL HOLD control from one extreme
to the other. The picture should remain in horizontal sync in all positions of the control except the extreme counterclock-
wise, and there the picture should show a marked tendency to slip to the right. This slippage serves as a reference point
to insure the proper range of the hold control to give synchronization under all conditions. If picture fails to show this
tendency to slip,

1. Leave the HORIZONTAL HOLD control in the extreme counterclockwise position.


2. Adjust the HORIZONTAL FREQUENCY trimmer until the picture tends to slip to the right.
3. Rotate the HORIZONTAL HOLD control clockwise until the picture falls into sync, then rotate an additional 10-1
degrees clockwise and leave in that position.

When the receiver has been adjusted in this manner, it should be possible to switch the receiver on and off or
station to station with the picture in synchronism at all times. If this is possible, the horizontal oscillator is properly
aligned.

COMPLETE ALIGNMENT OF HORIZONTAL OSCILLATOR (CHASSIS TS -15 & TS -15A)

If, in the above check, the receiver failed to hold sync over the proper range of theHORIZONTAL HOLD control, th
horizontal oscillator should be aligned as follows:

1. Turn CONTRAST CONTROL for about normal picture contrast.


2. Turn HORIZONTAL FREQUENCY trimmer tight.
3. Adjust. HORIZONTAL LACK -IN trimmer to about 2 turns from tight.
4. Adjust the horizontal oscillator coil L-55 so that the picture will lock -in over the whole range of the HORI-
ZONTAL HOLD control.
5. If it is not possible to obtain proper syncing in Step 4, back off on HORIZONTAL LOCK -IN trimmer an additional
turn, or until it is possible to adjust L-55 to make the picture sync over the whole range of the HORIZONTAL
HOLD control.
6. Turn the HORIZONTAL HOLD control to its extreme counterclockwise position.
7. Adjust the HORIZONTAL FREQUENCY trimmer until the picture tends to Blip to the right.
8. Rotate the HORIZONTAL HOLD control clockwise 10-15 degrees past the point at which the picture falls into sync
and leave it in that position.

It should now be possible to change stations without losing synchronism.

ALIGNMENT OF HORIZONTAL OSCILLATOR (CHASSIS TS -15B, TS -15C & TS -15C1)

With normal contrast, adjust the HORIZONTAL OSCILLATOR coil on the rear of the chassis until the picture remains in
sync throughout the entire range of the HORIZONTAL HOLD control.

ADJUSTSLENT OF ION TRAP AND DEFLECTION YOKE

Under conditions of rough shipment, it is possible for these parte to become misaligned. The follor_ng instructions
will enable the service man to bring the parts to their normal setting.

See Figure 5 for adjustment locations. A mirror placed in front of the receiver will help in making these adjust -
mente.

ION TRAP

Four types of permanent magnet ion trape are used on the TS -15 eerier chassis. Tney are as follows:

1. One is held in place with two clamps, colored black and blue, and tightened onto the neck of the tube with two
screws.
2. A large and a small circular magnet which slip over the neck of the tube.
3. Two square bar magnets which slip over the neck of the tube.
4. Another type consisting of black and blue clamps, but which slip over neck of the tube.

The function of each trap is the same, and its shifting will result in poor brilliancy or shadowing of the corners
"flags" of the tube's gun
of the picture. The ion trap is mounted toward the rear of the tube neck, approximately over the
structure. The trap has a front and rear marking which must be observed. Figure 5 gives the proper positions.

While observing the raster on the screen, move the ion trap slightly backward or forward, simultaneously turning itt
slightly to and fro until the brightest raster is obtained, and one in which none of the four corners are cut off or shadowed.
These adjustments should be made with the brightest picture obtainable, consistent with good line focus and a full, square
raster. When adjustment is completed, make certain that the ion trap is held tightly in position.

DEFLECTION YOKE

If the deflection yoke shifts, the picture will be tilted. To correct, loosen the wing nut on top of the deflec-
tion yoke and rotate yoke till picture is straight. Before tightening wing nut, make certain that the deflection yoke is as
far forward as possible.

ALIGNMENT
NOTE: The alignment procedure covers all chassis, through TS -15C1.

A metal screwdriver may be used for making video IF adjustments, but a plastic or fibre screwdriver is required fo
RF or sound IF alignment.

EQUIPMENT NECESSARY FOR ALIGNMENT

AM Signal Generator: Frequency Range 4.5-220 mc


Output 0-100,000 microvolts

Electronic Voltmeter

Oscilloscope

Sweep Frequency Generator: Frequency Range 20-30 mc


Sweep Width: 10 mc minimum

VIDEO IF ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE

It will be necessary to remove the picture tube to expose two video IF tuning cores. A short screwdriver of 2 to
3 inches in length is convenient for making the adjustments.

1. Turn the channel selector switch to a blank channel, e.g., the position which would correspond to channel 14 or
15 if there were such marking on the switch. This disables the local oscillator and prevents spurious respon-
ses in the IF amplifier.

2. Turn the receiver on, and adjust the contrast control R -69B, for -5 volts bias, as measured from the variable
tap of the control to chassis.

3. Apply a -3 volt bias to the mixer grid by mesma of a dry battery. Connect the positive terminal of the battery
to ground and the -3 volt terminal to the point at which the two 470,000 ohm resistors (R-6 & R-7) in the mixer
grid are connected.

4. Connect the signal generator output lead, through a blocking capacitor of 100 mmf to .01 mf, to the grid of the
mixer tube V-2 (6J6, pin 5). The low side of the signal generator should be connected to the oscillator coil
mounting plate near the mixer tube socket. To avoid regeneration, keep the grid and ground leads to the signal
generator as short as possible.

5. Connect the electronic voltmeter across the video detector load resistor*. Wits zero output from the generator,
the meter should read less than 1 volt negative contact potential. A voltage appreciably greater than this in-
dicates oscillation in the IF strip; and the generator lead connections, groundings, etc., should be checked.

6. Adjust the output of the signal generator throughout alignment for no more than 1 volt increase across the
detector load resistor to prevent overdriving the IF amplifier. Use the 3 volt range on the electronic volt-
meter.

1. Connect the signal generator to the plate of the video detector tube**.
2. Connect the electronic voltmeter and germanium crystal rectifier, as shown in Figure 11 to the plate of the 2n
video amplifier tube***. Use the lowest voltage scale on the meter.

3. With the signal generator set at 4.5 mc and maximum output, adjust the 4.5 mc. trap coil**** for minimum

read

An alternate method is to tune in a normal picture and adjust the trap coil so that the strippled or half -tone
effect in the picture is minimized or eliminated. Make sure the fine tuning control is set on center audio peak while this
adjustment le being made. The RF portion of the receiver must, of course, be aligned first before this method of adjusting
the sound trap is attempted.

CHECK OF VIDEO IF ALIGNMENT WITH SWEEP GENERATOR

Since variations in tube gain and component values cannot be taken into consideration in the single frequency
alignment technique, whereas they can be compensated for in a sweep alignment, it is very desirable after AM alignment to
check the shape of the IF response curve and to touch up the adjustments by using a sweep generator and an oscilloscope.

1. Turn the channel selector switch to a blank channel (a position corresponding to channels 14 or 15) to disable
the local oscillator.

2. Adjust the contrast control for -5 volts bias.

3. Apply a -3V bias to the mixer grid, at the junction of the two 470,000 ohm resistors, R-6 & R-7.

4. Connect the sweep generator output lead, through a blocking capacitor of 100 mmf to .01 mf, to the grid of the
mixer tube V-2 (6J6, pin 5). Ground the generator to the oscillator coil mounting plate, again keeping the
leads as short as possible.

5. Connect the oscilloscope vertical input to the grid of the 1st video amplifier tube*****, or to the grid of the
2nd video amplifier tube****** if more gain is needed. Run a lead from the scope terminal on the sweep genera-
tor to the horizontal input on the oscilloscope; or use the built-in eavtooth, synchronized internally, which-
ever is preferred.

6. Set the sweep generator for a center frequency of about 24.0 mc, with a deviation of about 10 mc. At all times
keep the output below the level at which the IF strip is over -driven, the point at which the response curve
begins to change shape as the generator output is increased.

7. Turn on the marker in the sweep generator. If there is no built-in marker in the sweep generator, loosely
couple the output of the AM generator to the IF strip, or feed the output to the mixer tube through a small
capacitor. At all times, keep the marker output low enough to prevent the marker from distorting
the response
curve. If a wide band scope is used, the marker will be more distinct if a capacitor of 100 mmf to 1000 mmf is
placed across the scope input. Use the smallest size possible, since too large a value will affect the shape
of the curve.

8. Adjust the sweep and scope until one complete response curve appears on the screen.

9. Compare the curve with the ideal curve in Figure 10, using the marker to locate specific frequencies on the wave.
If it is necessary to alter the shape of the curve, readjust the core closest in frequency to the point requir-
ing correction.

SOUND IF ALIGNMENT

1. Make adjustments and connections as described for video IF alignment.

a. Turn the channel selector switch to a blank channel.

b. Adjust the contrast control for -5 volts bias.

PHILCO TELEVISION RECEIVER MODELS


50-T1104, 50-T1105, 50-T1106, 50-T1400, 50-T1401, 50-T1402, 50-T1430

The various Philco Television receiver models listed above differ


somewhat from each other. In some cases the differences may be in
the cabinet style, in others there may be minor circuit changes.
Of some models there may have been several production runs with
minor changes. The circuit diagram on page 96A is absolutely cor-
rect for Models 50-T1400, 50-T1401, 50-T1402, and 50-T1430, all
of run 5, but will be useful then servicing any of the above listed
models. At the time of publication, material on additional models
50-T1403, 50-T1404, 50-T1405, and 50-T1406, has not been released,
but we understand that these models also will be similar. The data
on Philco Television receivers presented in this manual is presented
through the courtesy of the Philco Corporation, and is reproduced
from various manuals published by the Philco Corporation.

I -F ALIGNMENT 4.

During alignment, the signal -generator output


should be attenuated to keep the video -output
indication below 2 volts, peak -to -peak, and the
FM -detector -output indication below .5 volt, peak -

NOTE 2: If readjustment of the tuning, cores is necessary to obtain a response curve within the limits of figure 5, the following information may be used to find
the adjustment required.
TC13 affects the low -frequency slope. TC21 affects the fiat -top response.
TC27 affects the high -frequency slope. TC19 affects the amplitude of the high -frequency slope.
TC17 affects the bandwidth and carrier setting. TC22 affects the high -frequency slope.
TC18 affects the amplitude and the low -frequency slope. TC23, TC20, and TC14 should not be readjusted.

NOTE 3: The AM signal will appear as a series of sine waves superimposed on the FM -detector curve.

The complete circuit diagram of Philco Model 50-T1443, Code 122,


is presented on the blueprint page 96B, and waveforms of sync and
sweep circuits are shown on page 98. The television section of
Philco Model 50-T1483 is very similar to the circuit shown. Philco
Model 50-T1443, Code 123, is the same as this model, Code 122, but
uses a different tuner and has some minor circuit changes. The
schematic diagram of the new tuner is shown below. Other circuit
differences between the two codes are as follows: R133 is changed
from 3300 ohms to 330 ohms; A 470 mmfd. condenser is added between
the AVC lead to the tuner and ground; 080B, R75, R76, and R77 are
removed; Pin 6 of the audio output tube is connected to pin 4 in-
stead of the 150 volt B+ supply.

EFFECTS OF TUBE REPLACEMENT ON THE ALIGNMENT OF R.F. TUNER CIRCUITS: The alignment of
the R.F. and converter circutis of the R.F. tuner is critical and may be affected by
a tube change. In cases where these tubes (6BH6 or 6AG5) are replaced it will be
necessary for the service engineer to check for satisfactory receiver operation. If
realignment is indicated it can usually be avoided by selection of replacement tubes
until receiver operation is realized.
Replacement of the 6C4 local oscillator can usually be made with little or no
effect on the alignment and operation of the oscillator ciruits. However, when a
replacement is made, a check should be performed to make certain that the vernier
capacitor range is sufficient to tune in the sound carriers on all channels.

ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE
PRELIMINARY ADJUSTMENTS: Before alignment the receiver controls should be adjusted to
the approximated operating positions specified in the table below. The controls
should remain in these positions for all checks unless otherwise specified.
Contrast Control - to center position
Brightness Control - to position where raster is visible on
the kinescope
Focus Control - to position where focus is obtained
Vertical Hold - to center position
Vertical Linerity - to center posit -on
Vertical Size - adjusted to give normal raster height
Horizontal Hold - to center position
Horizontal Size - adjusted to give normal raster width

TEST EQUIPMENT SET UP: A certain amount of experimntation must be employed to secure
a stable test set up before alignment or service of the receiver is attempted. It is
recommended that the top of the test bench be covered with a sheet of aluminum to
insure good grounds between the various pieces of test equipment and the receiver
chassis. In general all test signal input leads should be kept away from output leads
as much as possible.

PICTURE I.F. INSTABILITY: If the picture I.F. strip is badly out of alignment it may
become unstable and fall into oscillation. When this condition occurs a comparatively
large voltage is developed across the picture detector load resistor. This voltage is
independent of I.F. signal input at the converter grid.
It is usually possible to stop I.F. oscillation due to misalignment by adjusting
the iron cores in the various picture I.F. coils and traps according to the information
given in the table below:

L37 Slug out (Min. L)


L39 Slug in (Max. L.)
L40 Slug out
L41 Slug in
L42 Slug out
L43 Slug out
L45A Slug in
L46 Slug out
L48 Slug in

The actual physical location of the various coils and traps is shown in Figure 14.
SOUND TRAP ALIGNMENT: First, remove V1 (6BH6 R.F. amplifier) and V-3 (6C4 local
oscillator tubes)from the tuner, and connect an 8000 ohm, 5 watt resistor between
the / 175 volt buss (point G Fig. 13, page 117 and chassis ground. This resistor
)

prevents the voltage on the / 175 volt buss from rising when V-1 and V-3 are removed.
Connect the R.F. signal generator to the grid of V-2 (point D Fig. 13, page 117 ) by
means of the I.F. input adapter as shown in Fig. 17.
SECOND: Set the R.F. tuner to channel #2.

THIRD: Connect a 3 volt bias battery between the A.G.C. buss (point E Fig. 13) and
chassis ground so that the voltage on the A.G.C. buss is -3 volts in respect
to the chassis.

FOURTH: Connect the electronic voltmeter across the picture detector load resistor
R36, point A Fig 13 and set the voltmeter on the low D.C. volt scale.

FIFTH: Set the R.F. signal generator to each of the frequencies shown in the table
below and in each case tune the specified adjustment for minimum indication
on the voltmeter. It is advisable to check the output of tíe generator with
the crystal calibrator to make certain that it is exactly on frequency in
each case.

21.75 Mc. L-48 (Top of chassis as shown in Fig. 14)

PICTURE I.F. ALIGNMENT: FIRST: Connect the R.F. signal generator, voltmeter and bias
battery to the receiver as described in steps 1,2,3 and 4 of the sound trap alignment
instructions.

SECOND: Set the signal generator to each of the following frequencies and peak the
specified adjustments for maximum indication on the voltmeter.

24.1 Mc. L-43 (Top of chassis as shown in Fig. 14)
26.0 Mc. L-46 (Top of chassis as shown in Fig. 14)
NOTE: On some receivers it is possible to tune through resonance on L-42 and set
tie .F. strip in oscillation. When this occurs the voltage across the picture
detector load resistor will increase to a point where the effects of the oscillation
may be mistaken for the actual resonance peak of L-42. If trouble of this nature is
encountered tune L-42 to the point where I.F. oscillation ceases and go on to peak
L-43 and L-46 at their respective frequencies and then return to peak L-42.

SOUND I.F. ALIGNMENT: FIRST: Connect the R.F. signal generator and bias battery to
tíeceiver as described in steps 1,2 and 3 of sound trap alignment instructions.

SECOND: Connect the electronic voltmeter across C68 (from point B to point F) as
shown in Fig. 13. Set the voltmeter on the low D.C. volt scale.
CAUTION: In instances where the common input lead of the voltmeter is grounded to
tthe meter case it will be necessary to keep the case insulated from the receiver
chassis or the / 175 volt buss will be shorted out. By the same taken a shock hazard
exists between the meter case and chassis ground. Because of these conditions a
reasonable amount of care should be exercised by the service engineer when handling
the equipment. In order to avoid these difficulties it is recommended that the volt-
meter used be constructed in such manner that the input leads are well insulated from
the meter case.

THIRD: Set the R.F. signal generator to 21.75 Mc. and peak the following coils for
maximum indication on the voltmeter.
L-63 (Top of chassis as shown in Fig. 14)
T-11 (Primary (Ratio Det.) top of chassis as shown
in Fig. 14.)

RATIO DETECTOR TRANSFORMER ALIGNMENT: FIRST: Connect the R.F. signal generator and
describía -171 steps 1,2 and 3 of the sound trap align-
bias battery to the receiver as described
ment instructions.

SECOND: Connect the electronic voltmeter from the junction of R73 and R74 to the
junction of R69, C64 and C65. Point C as shown in Fig. 13.

THIRD: Set the signal generator output to 21.75 Mc. Adjust the secondary of T-11.
(Bottom of chassis as shown in Fig. 11). Notice that it is possible to
produce a positive or negative voltage indication on the meter by varying this
adjustment. As the voltage swings from positive to negative, adjust T-11 for
zero output as indicated by the voltmeter. This point is called zero ratio
detector output and indicates correct alignment of T-11 transformer.
If the secondary of T-11 is found to be way out of alignment it will be
necessary to re -peak the primary as described in the preceeding section on
sound I.F. alignment.

PICTURE I.F. TOUCH UP: FIRST: Connect the R.F. sweep generator output to the grid of
V-2 paint D Fig. 13 by means of the I.F. input adapter shown in Fig. 17.

SECOND: Remove V-1 and V-2 from the R.F. tuner and connect the 8000 ohm, 5 watt
resistor between / 175 volt buss (point G, Fig. 13) and chassis. Set R.F.
Selector to channel #2.

THIRD: Connect the oscilloscope across the picture detector load resistor R36 (point
A, Fig. 13) by means of the shielded cable and the filter system shown in Fig.

FOURTH: Set the R.F. sweep generator so that it sweeps from approximately 20 to 30 Mc.
FIFTH: Adjust the oscilloscope so that the swept I.F. response is visible on the
cathode-ray tube screen.

SIXTH: Loosely couple the output of the R.F. signal generator to the grid of V-2 so
that marker signals of proper frequency can be mixed in with the R.F. sweep
signal.

SEVENTH: Observe the band width, relative position of the picture carrier, and flatness
of the overall I.F. response curve. If necessary slightly vary the tuning of
the picture I.F. coils L -39,L -41,L -42,L-43 and L-46 until the picture I.F.
response shown in Figure 19 is obtained. The solid curve in Figure 19 depicts
the ideal I.F. response while the dotted curves show permissable variations.

(When making

SECOND: Connect the electronic voltmeter across the picture detector load resistor R36
and set the meter on the low D.C. volts scale.

THIRD: Set the generator output frequency at approximately 23 Mc. Adjust the generator
output until the voltmeter reads approximately 1.0 volt. Record the R.F. signal
input in microvolts. Repeat the procedure with the generator output frequency
set at 24.2 and 25.4 Mc. In all cases the I.F. input voltage should be 200
Microvolts or less. The sensitivity at the I.F. picture carrier 26.25 Mc.,
should be approximately half of the I.F. sensitivity between 24.2 Mc. (Maximum
of 400 microvolts.).
If the generator output is not calibrated in microvolts, comparative sensitivity
measurements can be made by using another receiver that is known to be in good
operating condition as a standard. This applies to all sensitivity measurements
and good results can be obtained if sufficient care is used.

SOUND I.F. SENSITIVITY: FIRST: Connect the R.F. signal generator to the receiver chassis
as specified in steps 1 aErroff the sound trap alignment instructions.

123
MOST -OFTEN -NEEDED 1950 TELEVISION INFORMATION
SPARTON TELEVISION ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE (CON'T)
SECOND: Connect the electronic voltmeter across C68 (from point B to point F) as shown
----1E Figure 13. Set the meter on the low D.C. volts scale.

THIRD: Set the generator output frequency at 21.75 Mc. Adjust the output signal
level until the voltmeter indicates 8 volts across C68. The generator output
signal should then he 250 microvolts or less.

R.F. OSCILLATOR ALIGNMENT: The R.F. oscillator circuits may be aligned by feeding
signals at the R.F. sound carrier frequencies into the receiver antenna terminals and
adjusting the oscillator frequency on each channel for zero output from the ratio
detector. The ratio detector should be aligned exactly before this method of R.F.
oscillator adjustment is attempted.

Since incremental inductances are placed in series with the tuned circuits for
channels 8,10 and 12 to form the tuned circuits for channels 7,9 and 11, the order in
which these channels are aligned becomes important. In these cases it is necessary
to align the higher channel of each connected pair before the alignment of the lower
channel is attempted. For example, L22 forms the tuned circuit for channel 8 but with
the additional series inductance L23 also forms the tuned circuit for channel 7. Note
that the tuning of L22 not only affects oscillator operation on channel 8 but also
on channel 7 since L22 is common to both circuits. L23, however, affects only channel
7 since it is switched out of circuit when the tuner operates on channel 8. For these
reasons it is necessary to first tune L22 for correct oscillator frequency on channel
8, and then to adjust L23 for correct oscillator frequency on channel 7. In practice
the inductane ofthe incremental coils is adjusted by actual mechanical distortion of
the incremental coils themselves.
The following description gives a step by step procedure that simplifies oscillator
circuit alignment.

FIRST: Insert V-1 and V-3 in the R.F. tuner, and remove the 8000 ohm resistor which
had been added for sound trap alignment. (Step 1). Connect the signal
generator to the receiver antenna terminals.
SECOND: Set the oscillator vernier capacitor (fine tuning) at approximately the center
of its effective capacity range. This can best be determined by finding the
maximum and minimum capacity settings of the vernier and then interpolating
between the two extremes for the center position.

THIRD: Connect the electronic voltmeter from the junction of R73 and R74 to the
junction of R69, C64 and C65. (Point C as shown in Fig. 13).

FOURTH: Set the R.F. signal generator to each of the following sound R.F. carrier
frequencies, the tuner to the corresponding R.F. channel, and peak the
specified adjustment for zero output of the ratio detector as observed on the
voltmeter. (Zero output of the ratio detector is explained in the section
on ratio detector alignment).

The physical location of all coils and adjustments is shown in Figure 14.
The output of the R.F. generator should be checked by means of the crystal calibrator
to make certain that it is exactly on frequency in all cases.
CAUTION: In manufacture the slugs in the R.F. tuner coils are firmly held in place by
means of wax which is put into the forms after alignment. This wax must be removed
before tuning of the coils is attempted and must be replaced after re -alignment is
completed.

R.F. AND CONVERTER CIRCUIT ALIGNMENT: The alignment of the R.F. and converter circuits
of the tuner is a difficult and tedious task when it must be performed without benefit
of special factory test equipment. For this reason it is not recommended that the
complete re -alignment of these circuits be attemped by the service engineer.

4. Calibrate the oscilloscope for 2.8 volts peak to peak in the following manner:
A. Feed 1 volt RMS into the vertical input of the scope.
B. Adjust vertical gain on scope so as to obtain a sine wave large enough for viewing
(approximately 2").
C. At the desired size, draw two horizontal lines on the face of the cathode ray tube, each
designating the extremes of the sine wave.
D. Make no further adjustment of the vertical gain while measuring output at video de-
tector. Note where gain control is set for future reference to eliminate unnecessary
setups for obtaining this scope calibration.
5. Tune sweep generator to 24 Mc. with a 10 Mc. sweep and adjust slugs on video IF trans-
former T57 for a symmetrical response curve as shown in Figure 11.
6. Disconnect oscilloscope and connect the VTVM across 3900 ohm video detector diode return
resistor R161.
7. Remove the sweep generator from pin 1 of the 6AG5 fourth video IF tube.
8. Remove the 6J6 RF Oscillator -Mixer tube from its socket and replace with jig tube.
9. Connect signal generator through a .005 mfd. capacitor to the lead on the jig tube (pin 5).
10. For the following trap alignment, the generator output should be increased as required to
get a satisfactory dip indication on the meter. For peaking coil alignment, the generator
output should be decreased as required to keep the meter reading less than 3 volts. Select
the first peak that occurs when the slugs are turning in from the fully out position.
Align the following adjustment in sequence:
Set Signal
Generator At: Adjust:
20.4 Mc. Slug on trap coil L53 for minimum output
21.9 Mc. Slug on trap coil L58 for minimum output
27.9 Mc. Slug on trap coil L59 for minimum output
26.3 Mc. Slug on video IF coil T56 for maximum output
23.4 Mc. Slug on video IF coil T52 for maximum output
25.0 Mc. Slug on video IF coil T51 for maximum output
24.3 Mc. Slug on tuner output coil L10 for maximum output
Repeat the above procedure until adjustments do not change.

11. Disconnect the VTVM from across the 3900 ohm video detector diode return resistor R161
and connect cathode ray oscilloscope to the same point. Disconnect signal generator from
jig tube and connect sweep generator to the same point through a .005 mfd. condenser.
Loosely couple the signal generator for use as a marker.
12. Tune sweep generator to 24 Mc. with a 10 Mc. sweep and view response curve of the video
IF transformers on oscilloscope. See Figure 12 for desired over-all response curve. The
video carrier (26.4 Mc.) should be at 50% response as shown in Figure 12. Re -adjust
T56 slightly to obtain this result, if necessary. The band width may be checked by varying
the frequency of the marker signal from the high side of the curve until it indicates 70%
response on the opposite side of the curve. The difference between this frequency and
26.4 should be approximately 3.3 Mc. Re -adjust T52 to obtain this band width if necessary.
Slight re -adjustment of slugs on tuner output transformer L10 and video IF transformer T51
may be necessary to obtain the symmetrical characteristics as shown in Figure 12.
4.5 MC. TRAPS AND SOUND INTER -STAGE ALIGNMENT

1. Connect the high frequency probe of the V.T.V.M. across picture tube cathode and ground.
2. Connect signal generator through a .005 mfd, capacitor to pin 7 of the 6AQ5 video amplifier
tube.
3. Tune signal generator to 4.1 Mc.
4. Adjust the screw on the sound take -off trap coil L63 to the full out (counterclockwise) po-
sition, and adjust the slug on the bottom trap coil L64 to give maximum indication on the'
V.T.V.M.
5. Tune signal generator to 4.5 Mc. with sufficient output to give a readable indication on the
V.T.V,M.
6. Adjust the screw on sound take -off trap coil L63 for a sharp dip on the meter. Note
meter reading and tune signal generator to approximately 2.0 Mc. Reduce signal output
until meter reading is the same as obtained with 4.5 Mc. signal. The signal generator
output at 2.0 Mc. must be at least ten times down from the 4.5 Mc. signal generator out-
7. Remove the signal generator and connect sweep generator to the same point, loosely coup-
ling the signal generator for use as a marker.
8. Remove the V.T.V.M. from across the picture tube cathode and connect the oscilloscope
through a 39,000 ohm isolation resistor to the 47,000 ohm sound IF limiter grid return re-
sistor R128.
9. Tune sweep generator to 4.5 Mc. with a 500 KC. sweep and tune slugs on sound IF trans-
former T54 for response shown in Figure 13.
10. Repeat procedure until adjustments do not change. After proper adjustment, the band width
at the 50% point should be approximately 175 KC.
SOUND DISCRIMINATOR ALIGNMENT

1. Leave the sweep generator connected and the signal generator loosely coupled as in the
above alignment.
2. Disconnect the oscilloscope from across the 47,000 ohm limiter grid return resistor R128
and connect across the volume control R166.
3. Reduce the generator sweep to 300 Kc, and adjust discriminator trimmers C141, C142 and
C143 so that (1) the 4.5 Mc. marker is exactly in the center of the curve, (2) the curve
is linear between 4.55 Mc. and 4.45 Mc. and (3) the amplitude is the greatest obtainable.
See Figure 14 for desired response.

Deflection Yoke Adjustment


The deflection yoke must be positioned
against the flare of the picture tube. To do
this, loosen the wing screw located underneath
the yoke and push the yoke as far forward as
possible. If the picture is not square with the
mask, rotate the yoke. Loosen the two side
wing screws to raise or lower the yoke so
that the neck of the picture tube will seat
parallel with the chassis.

notes which begin on this page and continue to page 144B. Under
the chassis numbers listed in the upper right hand corner, there
have been manufactured a great many different models in various
cabinet styles, using different screens, and some in combination
styles using a separate radio chassis. Almost all these models
have a number with a prefix "G", for example G2441Z. We will not
take up space to list all these model numbers since a servicemen
can always find the chassis number stamped on the chassis of the
set he may be servicing. The diagram on page 144B is for Chassis
24G26, using a 16EP4 picture tube. Chassis 23G24 has but a single
horizontal output tube (V18), the power supply is not separate,
and this chassis uses a 12 -inch picture tube. The other chassis
series, see list in heading, were made earlier and used a series
filament circuit with the A.C. line returned to chassis. As you
can see from the circuit diagram, the newer chassis use parallel
connections with a power transformer that isolates the A.C. line
from chassis.
