ALIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
If complete receiver alignment Is to he performed, It can most conveniently be done In the order outlined.
If the picture tube is removed, it will be necessary to short pins 1 and 14 of the picture tube socket to complete the filament circuit.
Use an isolation transformer to protect the test equipment.

SLIGHTLY retouch A2 for maximum ampli-
tude and straightness of crossover lines.
F ALIGNMENT
Connect the synchronized sweep voltage from the signal generator to the horizontal input of the oscilloscope for horizontal deflection.
Connect the negative lead of a 3 volt battery through lOKft to the junction of R20 and C24. Connect the positive lead to.B-.
Unsolder une end of the oscillator cathode choke (L7), to disable the local oscillator.
If a wide band scope is used, connect a 1000MMF capacitor across the vertical amp. input terminals.
Set contrast control to minimum.

REMARKS
Adjust A4 for peak response near 26MC.
Adjust A5 for peak response near 24. 6MC.
Adjust A6 to place 22. 9MC marker at 50%
response on the low frequency slope of the
response curve.
Adjust A4 to place 26. 3M.C marker at 50%
response on the high frequency slope of
the response curve. If necessary slightly
retouch A4 thru A7 to obtain proper response
as shown in Fig 3.

REMARKS
Turn cores of A7 and A8 fully counter clock-
wise {fully out). Bring both cores in
simultaneously until 23. IMC marker occurs
at 50% response on the low frequency slope
and 26. IMC marker occurs at 50% response
on the high frequency slope of response
curve as shown In Fig 4. If 2 peaks appear,
the dip between them should not exceed 10%.
Resolder the cathode choke (L7).

REMARKS
Adjust for response curve similar to Pig. 7
with markers as shown.
Check all high band channels to see that
markers placement as shown in Fig 7
occurs within 22 1/2 degrees of the mid-
position of the fine tuning control range.
If may be necessary to expand or compress
the turns of L6 to bring channel 13 within
the proper range. If L6 is adjusted repeat
steps 8 and 9.
Expand or compress coil turns to place
markers as shown in Fig 7.
