4-4 TROUBLESHOOTING
As an aid in localizing trouble, common symptoms together with their possible causes and reme
dies have been listed in groups corresponding to the major sections of the instrument.
all possible troubles could not be included in the chart and the make-up of the chart has been based
on the assumption that the instrument has worked properly at some previous time. Keep in mind that
in trouble-shooting, the main endeavor is to find and eliminate the source of the trouble. Recurrence
of a trouble usually indicates that the effect, not the cause has been remedied.
4-5 TUBE REPLACEMENT
Tube location is shown in Fig. 7. When the CRT is replaced, it must be rotated until the hori
zontal trace is level.
4- 6 FUSE REPLACEMENT
A 1 Amp fuse is located in the fuseholder on the rear chassis apron. If the fuse should blow, the
component that has failed and caused the excessive current drain must be found and replaced before
a new fuse is inserted.
