  • Page 17 FM TUNER MONAURAL-STEREO SWITCH In some locations, the available signal may vary and as a result, even though initially there was suffi ­ cient incoming signal to overcome the back bias on the 6AW8A 19 KC amplifier, with reduced signal there is a possibility that reception will be quite noisy and perhaps even distorted.

  • Page 20 During stereo operation when a 19 KC signal arrives in sufficient strength to overcome the back bias on the 6AW8A, the tube will begin to conduct and as a result of its drawing current, the screen voltage will drop to approximately *70 volts. With a 19 KC signal now passing through the plate circuit, there will be *95 volts P-P at the plate and approximately *200 volts P-P will be developed across the primary of...
