SAFETY CHECK-OUT

After correcting the original service problem, perform the following safety checks before releasing the set to the customer.

1. Check the area of your repair for unsoldered or poorly-soldered connections. Check the entire board surface for solder splashes and bridges.

2. Check the interboard wiring to ensure that no wires are "pinched" or contact high-wattage resistors.

3. Look for unauthorized replacement parts, particularly transistors, that were installed during a previous repair . Point them out to the customer and recommend their replacement.

4. Look for parts which, though functioning, show obvious signs of deterioration. Point them out to the customer and recommend their replacement.

5. Check the line cord for cracks and abrasion. Recommend the replacement of any such line cord to the customer.

6. Check the B+ voltage to see it is at the values specified.

7. Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, "metallized" knobs, screws, and all other exposed metal parts for AC leakage. Check leakage as described below.

T o Exposed Metal

Parts on Set

0.15

1.5 k

Ω

Voltmeter (0.75 V)

LEAKAGE TEST

The AC leakage from any exposed metal part to earth ground and from all exposed metal parts to any exposed metal part having a return to chassis, must not exceed 0.5mA (500 microampers). Leakage current can be measured by any one of three methods.

1. A commercial leakage tester, such as the Simpson 229 or RCA TW-540A. F ollow the manufacturers' instructions to use these instruments.

2. A battery-operated A C milliammeter. The Data Precision 245 digital multimeter is suitable for this job.

3. Measuring the voltage drop across a resistor by means of a VOM or battery-operated AC v oltmeter . The "limit" indication is 0.75V, so analog meters must have an accurate low v oltage scale. The Simpson 250 and Sanwa SH-63Trd are examples of a passive VOM that is suitable. Nearly all battery operated digital multimeters that have a 2V A C range are suitable. (See Fig. A)

2. HOW TO REPLACE A ROTARY

There is no printed circuit board.

UPPER DRUM (HiFi MODEL)

See below for note.

2-1. HOW TO REMOVE A ROTARY UPPER DRUM

1) Remove screw 1 (+P3 × 8) and remove the ground shaft

assembly 2. (Refer to Fig. 4.)

2) Remove soldering which is marked by arrow and remove the rotary upper drum board completely.

3) Remove two screws 3 (PSW3 × 8) and remove the rotary upper drum in the direction of A. (Refer to Fig. 5.) If removal is difficult, remove it while rotating it slowly.

Note: If removal is difficult, check again if soldering is removed

completely.

2-2. HOW TO ATTACH A NEW ROTARY UPPER

DRUM

1) Pay attention so that finger print or like must not be put when inserting a new upper drum into lower drum.

2) Align mark of the rotary upper drum board with the mark of the rotary transformer board so that the screw hole on the upper drum and that on the lower drum are aligned. (Refer to Fig. 5.)

3) If attaching is difficult, attach a upper drum while rotating it slowly.

Note: Pay attention not to damage the video heads.

Confirm that the upper drum is inserted completely.

4) Tighten the two screws 3 (PSW3 × 8). (Refer to Fig. 5.)

5) Fix the earth shaft 2 by tightening the screw 1 (+P3 × 8) so that protrusion at the tip of the earth shaft contacts the center of the drum shaft.

Note: When attaching the ground shaft assembly 2, never give

force to the plate spring 4.
