TROUBLE SHOOTING
Low gain, low output, and impaired frequency response a r e all
directly related to tube mutual conductance and power supply out-
put voltage.
Consequently, should any of the above symptoms ap-
p e a r , the power supply output voltages should be checked (para.
4-3) and the tubes should be checked (para.
4-2).
Impaired frequency response, low gain, a n d / o r excessive hum
c a n also be caused by open o r shorted coils and by defective t e r -
minating r e s i s t o r s o r s c r e e n r e s i s t o r
