*Before making this adjustment (Step 2) check
the mechanical setting of the oscillator core
"R". The slotted end of the core should be 1
1 0/ 1 6"
from the mounting end of the coil form. (This
measurement is readily made with a suitable
plug from the mounting end of the coil form).
Core adjustments are made from the mount-
ing end of the coil form with an insulated
screwdriver, and core studs should be sealed
with glyptal or household cement after align-
ment.
**"L" (Step 5) is the pointer adjusting screw
on the pointer connecting link. Adjust so the
pointer reads 1000 K.C
.
With the radio installed and the car antenna
plugged
III
adjust the antenna trimmer "G"
(see sticker on case) for maximum volume
with the radio tuned to a weak station near
1400 KC (par. 11-3).
