ARE TV SERVICE DEALERS GYPS?Every so often, some magazine or newspaper soundsoff about TV -radio service shops.
"Service technicians are a bunch of gyps," is thegeneral theme. "They'll clip you if you don't watchout."
They might just as well write the same thing aboutdoctors, lawyers, storekeepers, auto mechanics-oranyone else. There are gyps in every line of business.Actually the percentage in TV -radio is lower thanin most.
The average service technician is a hard-working,straight-shooting individual. Rather than gyp customers,he is far more likely to spend more time on a job thanhe knows he will be paid for-simply as a matter ofpersonal pride in doing things right.
We recently heard about someone's TV set goingbad. A service technician called for it with his truckand returned it in good working condition within 48hours. His bill came to $10 for service plus $2.68 forreplacement parts.
The set owner argued that this was too much-yet hewould never dream of complaining to the medical spe-cialist who charged him $10 for a 15 -minute officevisit; the lawyer whose bill for writing a simple will was$75; or the garage man who laughingly admits that hecharges $5 for "just raising the hood" of a car.
In one of our very large cities, the Better BusinessBureau received fewer than 500 complaints about serv-
ice in a year. Most of the complaints came from folkswho expected first-class reception in doubtful fringeareas; who tried to operate their sets without suitableantennas; or who had bought sets "wholesale" at ridicu-lously low prices from cut-rate dealers who could offerlittle or no service.
Actually, it takes almost as long to become a goodservice technician as it does to train for any otherprofession. Beyond this, it calls for regular study tokeep up with the constant stream of new developments.Also, it requires a surprisingly big investment in testinstruments, manuals, and other shop equipment. Themodern TV or radio receiver is by far the most intricatepiece of equipment the average person ever owns oruses.
Service technicians are not fly-by-night businessmen -99 out of 100 run their businesses properly. The otherone per cent-the gyps-can usually be spotted a mileaway. Nine times out of ten, they are the shops thatfeature "bargain" prices and ridiculously liberal servicecontracts. And their victims are generally set owners whoexpect to beat the game by "getting somei'hing fornothing."
Good television sets or good TV service are notthings to be bought on a "bargain counter" basis. Setowners who recognize this aren't likely to get gyped.
Instead, they'll find that they get more real valuefor their television entertainment dollars than for anyother dollars they spend!

COL. LEONINO JUNIORRua Raimundo Correa 19-Ap. 502Copacabana-Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
The Pro and Con of ItI have been a subscriber and avid
reader of ET for many years. I findthat of all the trade publications Iread, as far as a technician's view-point is concerned. that you havethe most comprehensive magazine inthe industry. Therefore, I was a littlesurprised to read your "FormulaKick" editorial in the April issue. Thispro and con licensing argument isof course getting quite old and badlymaligned but the facts involved in thecase, and the need, do not change.All those who oppose licensing con-tinually and repeatedly fall back onthe argument of self-governing, self -certifying, self -policing and self-clean-ing as the great cure. Unfortunately,the people at whom licensing is di-rected never joined an association andnever self -license, self -govern, self -certify, self -police of self -clean them-selves and you will find that the BBBin almost all communities, even thoughthey have publicly opposed licensingmany times, admit themselves thatthe same people do the same cheatingyear after year.
Unfortunately, self-control and con-science do not motivate these individ-uals whatsoever. On the other hand,if they stood to lose a license tooperate this dishonest business, itwould motivate them into either goingout of business or becoming honest.
Again, I don't disagree with youreditorial except for the fact that inopposing licensing, the only solutionyou or anyone else who opposes ithas to offer is self -policing. Duringthe 20 years I have spent in thisindustry, self -policing has not workedand I see no reason in the next 20years why it would be any different.Furthermore. I don't think that any-one in the industry, no matter howviolently he is opposed to licensing.could produce any evidence that wouldalter these facts.
Again, those who support licens-ing intelligently do not offer it asa panacea, nor do we even hint thatit is, but it is far better than nothingand has proven to be so in all areaswhere it has been put into force.
I think the record of its actionsspeaks for itself.
GREGORY BARKOUKISNEA/OJT Coordinator
National Electronics Assoc.859 Coburn St.Akron, Ohio 44311
. . . Your April Editor's Meino,"Formula Kick," was sent to me byone of my associates: I could notagree with you more!
It is indeed heartening to find atleast one writing man in our servicepublishing field who is ready, willingand able to speak out forthrightlyabout this licensing regulation phobia.
I and my associates have for yearsfought licensing in Illinois, and it hasalways been our belief that it is wrong,unworkable, and where it has beenput in-against the apathy of thosemost affected and by legislators withone eye on the ballot box-that overthe long pull it became nothing but an-other nail in the coffin designed forthe "free enterprise" system, underwhich this country grew straight andstrong.
And also where its proponentswould have you believe that it didwork miracles of self -enforcing honestyand morality, over the long pull,all that it did accomplish was to sweepthe "hot shots" under the rug, whocould and will work the licensinggambit for all it is worth, as a meritbadge to really steal legitimately.
If all the fellows who have workedso enthusiastically to push for thisthrough the years had put theirenergies into the channels of raisingthe sights of their fellow technicians,and spent their money in this activity,we all would have been much furtheralong in the public esteem.
HOWARD WOLFSON, SecretaryARTS of Illinois

The fact is, although it has inde-pendently commented on the subjectfrom time to time, ET has never takena hard-nosed position for or againstlicensing per se-and does not intendto-since it is devoted entirely toupgrading the technical and businessknow-how of service -dealers and tech-nicians.-Ed.

"the ANTENNA that captures the RAINBOW"No two reception areas are alike in the number of stations, UHF and VHF,station channel frequencies, and signal strengths.FINCO has developed the Color Spectrum Series of antennas -"Signal Customized" -to exactly fit the requirements of any given area. There is a mode scientifically designedand engineered for every area, even the most troublesome, and for all combinationsof signal conditions.Engineering studies show that a receiving antenna should have mcre gain as channelfrequency is increased -that is, channel 6 more than channel 2, zhannel 13 more thanchannel 7, and UHF from channel 14 on up...
1-to compensate for signal strength loss2-to compensate for down -lead loss3 - to meet receiver requirements for more signal to operate properly
FINCO Color Spectrum Antennas obtain this frequency depended characteristic through anewly developed principle of spacing between elements. Gain increases as frequencyincreases. This new FINCO engineering break -through, combinec with superior flatresponse patterns and unusually high front -to -back ratios, assure the finest COLOR andB & W reception possible... everywhere.

J EDITOR'SIt MEMO
They Must StandardizeTechnological changes take place in
the electronics industry at a fantasticrate. These changes require new serv-ice techniques and may produce un-necessary headaches.
One recent change has come withMotorola's introduction of a transis-torized color -TV set. If a componentgoes bad in the set's audio circuitboard, for example, the technicianmerely unplugs the board and returnsit to his supplier who will replace itfor about $6, if the warranty hasexpired. Other plug-in circuits-form-ing the major portion of the receiver-are replaced in a similar manner at aslightly greater cost. The cost of re-placing these boards may frequentlybe less than the value of the techni-cian's time if he replaced the defectivecomponents on the board.
Some technicians have speculatedthat the development of modular com-ponents would endanger their futurelivelihood, since a few TV set ownersmight attempt to service their receiversby replacing modules. This is highlyunlikely since the owner would notknow which module is defective. Atechnician's skill is needed to deter-mine which module is causing thetrouble -symptom.
The real danger, however, mayresult from the industry's failure tostandardize future modular microcir-cuits. It is already becoming increas-ingly difficult to catalog the wide as-sortment of integrated circuits cur-rently being developed. Microcircuitsand simple integrated circuits will bemass produced for modular use in fu-ture receivers. The nature of these"beasts" prohibits their repair, andonce they have developed a flaw, theymust be replaced. But will techniciansbe able to maintain an adequate in-ventory if new modular circuits aredesigned for every new receiver modelintroduced?
In the case of Motorola's new set,as an example of things to come, aspokesman acknowledges that the av-erage service -dealer will probably notbe able to maintain a supply of theircolor -TV set's plug-in circuit boards.
Unless the electronics industry be-gins an immediate program of stand-ardization, servicing procedures maybecome a time-consuming necessity.The number of house calls may double.TV sets may sit for days unrepaired.And technicians may find themselvesworking more hours as "delivery boys"than as technicians.
Getting a hernia and not getting paid for it?
Switch to Elmenco dipped Mylar& paper capacitorsand you won't have to worry about call-backs,lost profits, broken reputations or brokenanything else.The only ordinary thing about them is their price.You get capacitors that meet the requirements ofhigh -reliability computer and missile systems. Youget capacitors that hold their rating at 125°Ccontinuous operation. Yet you get them at TVset prices.Elmenco dipped Mylar-paper capacitors come injust about any value you need from .001 mfd to1.0 mfd. And just about any TV rated voltage youneed, too, from 100V through 1600V.Ask your Authorized Arco Distributor to put themon your next order.

New Color Crossfire 02UHF/VHF Antennas plus FM/FM StereoTotally new concepts in UHF/VHF design are joined with Channel Master's provenCrossfire principle to produce the first 82 -channel antennas that meet UHF receptionneeds yet also provide unsurpassed VHF gain ... and with no appreciable increase inover-all size.
Here is another example of a major development from Channel Master Laboratorieswhere, as always, leadership begins with research.
Until now, antenna manufacturers have createdcombination UHF/VHF antennas by coupling a UHFsection to the front of a VHF antenna. To avoidcostly, unwieldy, and unsightly construction, thishas always meant sacrificing VHF gain. Now Chan-nel Master fills the 82 -channel gain gap with ColorCrossfire 82 antennas designed for metropolitan tofringe areas where maximum VHF gain is as im-portant as UHF reception power.
In addition to the famous Channel Master Cross-fire VHF Proportional Energy Absorption Principle,these new antennas employ unique series -fedfolded UHF dipoles with carefully engineered di-mensions so that they literally "disappear" andoperate as a perfect 300 ohm line at VHF frequen-cies...no "Iossy" couplers required as is the casewith the usual parallel -fed UHF elements.
And, of course, every Color Crossfire 82 antennafeatures Channel Master's famous E.P.C. goldencoating and rugged preassembled construction.

Making TV and FM Absorption TrapsTelevision and FM receivers are specially designed
to reject unwanted signals. Occasionally, however, in areaswhere undesirable signals are extremely strong, a problemmay appear. For example, adjacent channel interferencemay occur in areas where a customer wishes to watch adistant station and there is a local station on an adjacentchannel. Although correct antenna orientation and selectivetuning will usually help, the unwanted signal may stillcause interference. In such cases, a tuned trap will usuallysolve the problem.
RF interference is another problem that sometimespresents itself. This type interference usually occurs inareas where the set is located "next door" to a TV or FMtransmitter. These particular circumstances can causeinterference on several or all TV channels. On an FM re-ceiver, spurious signals may be received at several spots onthe dial, or in extreme cases, block out several or all FMstations.
In solving problems of an interference nature, it isoften desirable to attenuate (or reject) a specific frequencyor band of frequencies. In most cases, this can be doneby simply installing an absorption trap on the antennalead-in. Such traps may be quickly constructed by usinga section of 300-flat ribbon transmission line, terminatedon one end by a small trimmer capacitor. The other endof the trap is short-circuited for trapping VHF signals;
CERAMIC TRIMMER1.5- 28 pf TYPE A (VHF)

TYPE B (UHF)OPEN
whereas for UHF, the other end is open -circuited as shownin the illustrations.
Lengths of 300n line for typical traps follow: (Tuningtrimmer capacitance range in all cases is 1.5 to 28pf.)

Length "L"8in. VHF Type A3in. VHF Type A5in. UHF Type B3in. UHF Type B
These traps are installed by taping them to the 300nantenna lead-in. The effectiveness of the trap is controlledby several factors:
1. Position of the trap along the lead-in: The trap setsup a standing wave at the trapped frequency in thelead-in wire to the receiver. The trap should be movedalong the lead-in until the optimum trap placement isfound, remembering to retune the variable trimmer.2. Physical length of the trap: The length (dimension"L") may be varied and the trimmer adjusted accord-ingly. A longer trap tends to be "broad band."3. Coupling of the trap to the line: For effective oper-

ation it is necessary that the trap be installed againstflat 300n lead-in. After final adjustment the trap canbe held in place by paper or vinyl tape. A convenientinitial adjustment technique is to hold the trap on the

TRAP300n line with spring -loaded plastic clothespins. Theclothespins serve as convenient handles during the initialtrimmer adjustment and allow positioning along thelead in for optimum attenuation.
Practical use of the traps may fall into three categories:1. A trap for narrow band interfering signals.2. Trapping a broad band signal like a TV channel.3. A method for identifying the frequency of an inter-fering signal in the field.To reject a narrow band signal, the trap is coupled to
the transmission line and adjusted to the interferingsignal. The trap lengths given in the table will cover therange of frequencies from 50 to 890MHz. Remember toposition the trap along the lead-in for optimum rejection.
Trap circuits can attenuate a broad band signal (astrong TV channel) that is interfering with a weakerchannel. Because the trap will have a pronounced effecton the channel to which it is tuned it is very importantto check the performance of the receiver on the "trapped"channel, with and without the trap in place. In particular,a color TV should be checked with a color program. Ifundue effect is noticed, it may be necessary to "broadband" the trap circuit. This may be done in one of twoways: by increasing the length "L" of the trap and readjust-ing the trimmer or alternatively, by loading the trap witha resistor, typically 10K. Courtesy RCA Victor

CANADIAN GENERAL ELECTRICColor TV Model M663-Audio Trouble
There have been reports of audio problems that canbe caused by bad lead dress in the audio circuit.
The leads of C313 and C306 have been found to bein contact with the envelope of the 12BF11 audio outputtube. The transfer of heat will cause distortion.
The solution, of course, is to bend the capacitors awayfrom the envelope so they are no longer in contact.

Regardless of the type of service being dcne on theKC chassis color TV, the high voltage regulator tube V17,with white printed code (white branding) is to be changedto a new type, as shown. Tubes having a yellow code andbranding are not to be changed. Chassis stamped EN378or higher do not require this change.
This tube type change should be performed regardlessof whether the TV is in or out of warranty. The old tuberemoved from the chassis is to be tagged with customer'sname and address, along with the model and serial numberof the TV set. Return the tagged tube to the nearest G -ETV distributor for credit or exchange.For 6EA4 use 6EH6For 6EF4 use 6EJ4For 6LC6 use 6LH6
After installing the tube, attach one of the new tubetype labels (packed with the tube) to the rear wall of theHV compartment and the other label to the outside ofthe cabinet back near the top. The information on thelabel will then indicate to anyone subsequently servicingreceiver that the new type tube has been installed.

The State ofSolid -State The Fairchild µA702A IC (in the foreground)
replaces the components shown out of focusin the background.
Solid-state technology surges upward to ultimate levels with microintegrated 'chips'
TEKLABREPORT
For many years electron tubeshave provided the only practical de-tectors and amplifiers. Until tran-sistors were developed, electronicequipment manufacturers dependedentirely on electron tubes. But it hasbeen obvious for some time that thetrend has turned toward solid-stateelectronic circuitry and very few"crystal-ballers" would even hazarda guess regarding the "end of de-velopments" in this area.
Transistors and solid-state diodeshave largely replaced tubes inradios, TVs, hearing aids, digitalcomputers, test instruments and awide variety of industrial electronicproducts.
Semiconductors-and especiallymicrointegrated packages-are re-ducing the size and weight of mostelectronic equipment used in thehome, in industry and in space ex-ploration.
During the first quarter of 1967,for example, sales of receiving tubesto original electronic manufacturers(OEMs) reached 59 million units-a decline of 17.5 percent from
sales of 72 million units during thesame period in 1966.
Total receiving tube sales werealso off 14.5 percent-at 95 mil-lion units-during the first threemonths of this year.
Declines were shown in other re-ceiving tube market areas. Salesfor renewal purposes decreased 9.8percent to reach 27 million unitsand direct sales to the governmentwere down 9.3 percent.
Some reasons why transistorshave many advantages over tubesate as follows:
1. "Small -signal" transistors areabout the size of an eraser on theend of a pencil and take up lessspace than tubes. Power transistorsare about the size of a quarter.
2. Power consumption is small.Transistors and solid-state diodesdo not require filaments. Theirvoltage needs are only a fraction oftube requirements. When used inportable equipment the units aresmaller and lighter in weight. Op-erating costs are lower. Less heatis generated in most applications.
AUGUST 1967 39
Solid -State . . .
3. No warm-up time is required.Solid-state equipment operates in-stantly when switched on.
4. Solid-state construction in asingle compact unit eliminates mov-ing or floating parts making themrugged when used in portable equip-ment.
5. Transistors have a longer lifeexpectancy and can be easily water-proofed with a plastic shell whichallows them to be operated in dampenvironments and even under water.
6. Transistors can provide moreflexibility in circuit designs andcircuits are frequently more simplethan tube circuits-requiring fewercomponents.
Although the basic troubleshoot-ing approach to solid-state circuitsis the same as with electron tubecircuits, the specific procedures re-quire entirely different techniques.Solid-state circuits must not be com-pared with electron tube circuits-we must think solid-state!
More care must be exercisedwhen servicing solid-state circuits toprevent additional problems becauseof careless application of test in-struments-especially when usingmetal probes. A momentary shortor overload can destroy a transistoror other component in the circuit.
As in tube circuits, the over-alltroubleshooting approach is "logicaldeduction through knowledge ofcircuit operation." And techniciansmust apply their knowledge of solid-state circuit operation to masterthese circuits successfully.

When signal -tracing, the usual method is to beginwith the defective set's RF stageand work toward the speaker. Withsignal -injection, the reverse proce-dure is used-starting at the speakerand working backward toward theRF stage.
FM/stereo broadcasting and re-ceiving is rapidly gaining public in-terest. Standard FM broadcastingwill no longer satisfy the millions ofpeople who have been educated tofine music and voice reproduction.
The best receivers and associatedequipment cannot give proper re-sponse if the components are notproperly balanced and aligned.
Rules and regulations set forthby the FCC require complex re-ceiver circuitry which is difficult toservice without special test instru-ments. But special solid-state testinstruments have also been designedto cope with these problems.
A light -weight, portable, self-con-tained power supply FM/multiplexgenerator can be carried into thehome and it generates a completecomposite FM/multiplex signal in
accordance with FCC specifications.For more information on these gen-erators refer to the article series,"Using Audio Test and AlignmentInstruments," which began in theMarch 1967 issue of ELECTRONICTECENICIAN.
Solid-state test instruments fulfillthe need for lightweight portabletest instruments.
IC and FET Circuits
Many transistor tuners and receiv-ers on the market today are subjectto cross modulation-powerful sta-tions can appear at several pointson the dial-interfering with othersignals which listeners want to re-ceive. Resistance to cross -modula-tion is an inherent failing of ordinarytransistor circuits. One solution tothis problem is to use regular tubesor nuvistors in the front end of anotherwise all -solid-state tuner. Thishybrid design works well initially,but is said to defeat its own purposeeventually, since tubes generatedrift -producing heat and fail morequickly than transistors. One manu-facturer claims to have solved thisproblem by using field-effect tran-sistors (FETs). For detailed infor-mation on FET circuitry, refer tothe article, "Semiconductors fromA to Z," which has been runningin ET since August 1966.
The first FETs made are reportedto have sold for about $30 eachand were considered a curiosity bydesign engineers. After a short time,however, useful applications weredeveloped for special military equip-ment. FETs had a very high inputimpedance but circuit designers whohad experience only with transistorsfound themselves attempting toapply unfamiliar electron tubetechniques.
Today, the price of FETs hasdropped to only a few dollars.Various types of field-effect transis-tors are now available, includinginsulated -gate, metal oxide andeven thin-film types. A number ofFET FM receiver front ends havebeen developed and the circuit ofone of these is shown in Fig. 1.
Integrated circuits are now beingused more widely. They can be ap-plied to regenerate the 3.58MHzsubcarrier in color TV sets. At

UNDERSTANDINGMODERN AGC CIRCUITS
Learn some of the 'service -secrets' that separate the 'men' from the 'boys'
The fourth article of this series(ELECTRONIC TECHNICIAN, July1967) explored some general andparticular considerations concern-ing troubleshooting modern keyedAGC circuits-tube and solid-state.
It was also pointed out that aspecial "viewpoint" was necessarybefore these circuits could be re-paired rapidly enough to satisfypresent-day TV owner demandsand meet competitive standards nowbeing established by an increasingnumber of alert and progressiveservice -dealers.
Perhaps it would be helpful torepeat: use your intelligence (it'salso called common sense) whenapproaching any service problem-and this includes modern AGC serv-ice problems.
The Modus OperandiIn the previous article it was
made clear that an AGC system isbut cne circuit in a closed -loop"chain" composed of individual,interdependent, interactive links. Itwas also indicated that the entireloop must be "seen" and consideredin -total when diagnosing trouble -symptoms as revealed by the CRTscreen or the speaker. But we didnot suggest that the total loop beconsidered as one solid, elaborate,complicated and formidable mazewhich, according to the views ofsome, was designed especially by theengineers to frustrate hard-workingtechnicians.
The modus operandi of trouble-shooting AGC circuits-the mannerin which you work-is the same forall types of electronic circuitry: in
most cases it involves common-sensetechniques and proper test instru-ments. To state it another way, itrequires knowledge of the equipmentand logical thinking. It's as simpleas finding a needle in a hay-stack-by using a hundred -thousand -gausselectromagnet!
As every skilled technican knows,three of the five inherent humansenses-sight, touch and smell-can reveal clues that lead directlyto a rapid solution to most elec-tronic circuit problems.
Observe the "old pro" in actionat the service bench for a moment.He has just placed a chassis on itssade, with the "guts" showing andthe set is switched on. In a cool,relaxed and confident manner, hepokes his nose close to the chassisinnards and literally "sniffs around"-like a bird-dog circling throughquail cover. He looks closely fortell -tale charred or broken or heat -discolored resistors. He cautiouslyfeels a few resistors or power tran-sistors with a forefinger.
When he locates one or moreresistors that are obviously burnedopen, discolored or overheating, helooks for the cause: a shorting tubeor defective transistor, a leakingcapacitor or possibly some othercause and he may briefly refer to aschematic of the equipment. At anyrate, the fault is quickly confirmedby a VOM, VTVM, a scope, anin -circuit transistor or capacitortester. He may replace one or moredefective components and the job isdone. Skilled bench technicians fre-quently troubleshoot and repair avery large percentage of ailing TV

sets by using these simple methods.But a substantial number of prob-
lems do not yield to these trouble-shooting techniques. These problemsusually arise because of subtle shiftsin circuit -component tolerances-sudden changes in resistance andcapacitor values, small leakages incapacitors, intermittently defectivetubes, transistors, capacitors, resis-tors, coils and solder connections.These are the problems that oftenbecome time consuming for unskilledand inexperienced technicians-these are the "hair -pulling" prob-lems that separate the "men" fromthe "boys" in the troubleshootingarea of electronics.
As repeatedly stated in previousarticles, the first step in servicingany equipment is to localize theproblem to one specific area of theequipment-one particular circuit.Since the AGC system is one "link"in a closed -loop "chain" our firststep here is to determine if theproblem is in the AGC link orsome other link in this loop (seeFig. 1).
In tube circuits particularly, westated that the best way to determinewhether or not the fault is in theAGC circuit or elsewhere, is to sub-stitute a variable bias supply. And
this also holds true in most caseswith solid-state circuits. But remem-ber that "forward-AGC" is fre-quently employed in solid-state AGCcircuitry and, depending on the tran-sistors and circuitry used, the polar-ity of the AGC voltage may beeither positive or negative with re-spect to ground. If you are not up-to-date on your transistor theory,study the comprehensive article,"Semiconductors from A to Z,"which has been running in ELEC-TRONIC TECHNICIAN for more thana year.
Now let's stop the philosophizingand generalizing, get our dogs beforethe guns, and see what specific gamewe can flush up.
To the PointThe schematic in Fig. 2 shows
a forward-AGC transistor circuitwhich provides a positive voltageon the AGC buss. This circuit isused in Motorola's TS458 chassis.
The following checks on the AGCsystem are recommended to deter-mine if the fault is in the system orelsewhere:
1. Set the tuner between channels(no signal). Measure the voltageat test -point (TP) "A." It shouldbe 2.5v. With the tuner set on a
medium -strength station, the poten-tial should be close to 4.5v.
2. Measure the voltage at TP "B."It should be about 33v with no signaland approximately 15v with a me-dium -strength station tuned in.
3. Measure the voltage at TP "C."It should be near 3.2v with no signaland about 5v with a strong signal.It should be noted, however, thatthe voltage at TP "C" will varywith the setting of the AGC delaycontrol, R405.
If the voltages are not withinthe aforementioned tolerances underthe stated conditions, the next moveis to determine if the AGC gatetransistor (Q11) can function prop-erly-can be "keyed" on and off:
To turn Q11 off, short its emitterand base. The voltages at TP "A,""B" and "C" should then be thesame as they were when the tunerwas set between channels (nosignal) as previously stated in steps1, 2 and 3-2.5, 33 and 3.2v re-spectively.
To turn Q11 on, short the emitterand base of the 1st video amplifier,04. The voltages at TP "A," "B"and "C" should now read 6, 2 and13v respectively-about the same aswhen a very strong signal is beingreceived.

If these steps check out OK asindicated, you will then know thatthe entire AGC network is function-ing properly and your problem-horizontal bending and overloading,for example-is probably beingcaused by a fault in the IF section,the video detector or the video out-put circuit.
We should remind ourselves atthis point of a few important func-tional details regarding this partic-ular keyed AGC circuit. A thoroughunderstanding of how it functionswill make troubleshooting mucheasier.
When the tuner is set betweenchannels (no signal), the AGC gate(Q11) is reverse biased by the lowcollector voltage of the 1st videoamplifier (Q4). This transistor(Q4) produces a large voltage dropacross R403 which causes the baseof Q11 to be negative with respectto its emitter-thus reverse biasingits emitter/base junction and pre-venting conduction.
When a TV signal is tuned in,the diode video detector (not shownin the schematic) feeds a negative -going video signal, plus a certainamount of dc, to the base of Q4which drives it toward cutoff. Thisdecreases Q4's collector current and
0+ 33V
the voltage drop across R403 alsodecreases. This will cause the volt-age on the base of 011 to becomemore positive with respect to itsemitter. This action will forward -bias Q11 and allow collector cur-rent to flow-if we apply a positivevoltage to its collector of sufficientamplitude to override the 33v on itsemitter. This override voltage isobtained from a small winding onthe flyback transformer.
Note that the 40v P -P positive -going flyback pulse is fed to theanode of the diode, E401, forward -biasing it and turning it on. Thisvoltage will cause Q11 to conduct,in turn charging C402 as follows:
Electron -current will flow fromthe plus side of C402 through limit-ing resistor R406 to the emitter ofQ11, then through E401, the hori-zontal pulse coil and to the nega-tive side of C402. This capacitorcharges to a negative value whichis proportional to the amplitude ofthe horizontal sync pulses of thereceived signal.
When the horizontal pulse is notpresent, C402 starts to dischargebut the negative voltage on it re-verse -biases E401. This preventsC402 from discharging through thecollector -to -base junction of Q11
forcing it to discharge partially ina negative -to -positive directionthrough R410 and R413.
Note the time cycle of C402 andassociated components. The capaci-tor charges rapidly through a rela-tively small resistance but dischargesonly partly through a relatively largeresistance. The net result of thisaction creates a negative charge onC402 which makes TP "B" nega-tive with respect to the 33v supply.The swing of this negative voltageis directly proportional to the ampli-tude of the horizontal sync pulseswhich appear at the base of the AGCgate, Q11, at a given instant.
But wait! We observe that thedesign of the IF section requires aplus bias voltage on its 1st and 2ndvideo stages so the forward -biasbetween base -and -emitter can bevaried to increase and decrease thecurrent flow in their collector cir-cuits (decrease and increase thecollector voltage) to control thesignal strength through forward-AGC-action.
The AGC amplifier (Q11), aPNP transistor connected as a com-mon -emitter, inverts the voltage180deg and makes it positive. Thisadditional positive voltage, togetherwith the 2.25v which already ap-pears at TP "A," is the AGC voltagewhich is coupled to the bases ofQ1 and 02 through current -limitingresistors R102 and R106.
The AGC delay transistor circuit,Q25, is designed to turn on andapply RF AGC just before signaloverload occurs in the tuner.
The proper way to adjust theRF AGC control (R405) is asfollows:
1. Set the control fully clock-wise-giving maximum RF AGCdelay.
2. Tune in a medium strengthsignal.
3. Turn the AGC delay controlslowly counterclockwise (CCW)until noise is just visible in the pic-ture. Then turn the control clock-wise (CW) until the noise on thescreen just disappears.
Forthcoming articles will dealwith additional troubleshootingproblems in various types of AGCcircuits-both electron tube andsolid-state.

Fig. 2-The "old pro" uses a variable ac powersupply to bring up the line voltage slowlywhen checking for shorts and overloads.
II It has been made repeatedlyclear that you cannot survive in thisbusiness unless you have a thoroughknowledge of basic solid-state circuittheory. Many articles - coveringvarious aspects of this subject -have already appeared in thesepages. Practical servicing techniqueshave been detailed. But forthcomingarticles will explore these areas evenmore thoroughly. This article willdeal entirely with practical trouble-shooting procedures and, althoughconcentrating on the G -E "TA"chassis, the fundamental servicingtechniques can be applied to allcomparable solid-state circuitry.
Practical Troubleshooting
The "TA" chassis first came toour bench "dead" - no raster, noaudio. You may or may not knowthat the "TA" chassis has a line-operated 12v, regulated dc powersupply (see Fig. 1). You wouldnormally check this supply firstwhen confronted with the previouslymentioned symptoms. And you'll

46 ELECTRONIC TECHNICIAN
find it helpful to use a variable117vac supply.
Plug the set into the variable acsupply output. Check the ac linefuse, F401 (Fig. 1) and the outputfuse, F402. If the ac input fuse isblown, replace it. And if the dcoutput fuse is blown, replace it also.
Now adjust the variable -voltagetransformer to bring the ac line po-tential slowly up to 120v while usingthe old "see, feel and smell" benchtechnician's technique. At the sametime, monitor the 12v B+ line toground with a VOM. If you havelittle or no voltage, switch the setoff.
Disconnect the B+ loads from thepower supply (one at a time) -switching the set on after each loadhas been disconnected. Each loadcan be disconnected easily by cuttingthe circuit foil (see Fig. 3) with asharp penknife, razor blade, etc.Observe if the B+ rises to 12v. Ifthe B+ is still not correct when allloads have been disconnected, thenthe trouble is either in the voltageregulator or the power supply.
Now try to obtain correct B+voltage by adjusting R405 (see Fig.1). If this does no good, check Q20,the error amplifier and 021, theregulator transistor on an in -circuittransistor tester. If they check OK,all you have left is the zener diode,Y403. If you don't have a zenerdiode tester, substitute the suspectedzener with a known -good one.
These regulator circuits can havea very fast control response - fastenough, in fact, to remove 60 or120Hz ripple. This regulator actslike a large filter capacitor and helpssmooth the B+ voltage.
Of course, you can vary this ap-proach in a number of ways. Sup-pose, for example, the dc voltageat the regulator output is lower thannormal but not out altogether. Yoususpect that heavier -than -normalcurrent is being drawn by one ofthe loads. In this case, remove thefast -blow 1.5a fuse (F402 shown inFig. 1) and replace it temporarilywith a 0.5a similar -type fast -blowfuse. Open the line at "A." Inserta 1 a full-scale meter in the line.Switch the set on. If the meter readsmuch more than 430ma, you willhave some idea of what your prob-
lem is. Of course, you could openlines at various points in the supply,including individual output loadpoints, measuring the current drawnat each point and probably comeup with all the information you needto pinpoint the trouble. But be care-ful you do not burn out the millia-meter - make initial checks on thehighest scale.
Because Q24, the horizontal out-put transistor, Y254, the damperdiode and Q19, the vertical outputtransistor, have been known toshort, it would be wise to lift andisolate these from their heat -sinkmounts when checking for a loss orfor extremely low B+ voltage (seeFig. 4).
Precautions
We believe it would be advisableat this point to mention some pre-cautions that should be taken beforeattempting to troubleshoot this orsimilar -type equipment.
To avoid excessive transient volt-ages while servicing any part of theset, use a zener diode connectedfrom the emitter to the collector ofQ24, the horizontal output transis-tor. A zener can be used on anysolid-state circuit where expensivetransistors are involved.
Always use a low -wattage de -soldering iron and heat -sink clipswhen removing or installing transis-tors (see Fig. 5). And the equipmentshould be switched off before probesor leads from test instruments areconnected into any circuit. Alsomake sure that all test leads are atground potential and momentarilyshort each test probe to chassisground before making contact withthe test point. Excessive transientvoltage will quickly destroy solid-state components. An ohmmetercan be used for checking the forwardand reverse resistance of semicon-ductors. But make sure that no morethan 1.5v appears across your meterprobes.
Horizontal Section
If the screen of this set does notlight or the raster size is inadequate,check the 12v B+ first. If the B+checks OK, then check the voltage
at test -point A. It should be 90v.If so, this usually means the out-put transistor is operating properly.Use your scope to check for properoperation of the horizontal sweepsection and if this checks out butthe 90v source is not correct, dis-connect various loads from this sup-ply until correct voltage appears -isolating the defective area. Alsocheck diode Y259.
Now check the amplitude, fre-quency and shape of the waveformof the horizontal output drive signal.The emitter and base leads are dis-connected for this check and a 1052resistor is connected between theseleads. The scope is then connectedacross this resistor and a 4 to 6vP -P drive voltage, at the horizontalsweep rate, should appear at thispoint. If the drive signal is correct,check the components in the hori-zontal output circuit. An incorrectdrive signal would point to troublein the buffer or oscillator stage. Aslight decrease in horizontal sweepand striations (see Fig. 6) indicatethat damper diode (Y254) has

A systematic signal injection ap-proach is recommended to pinpointtroubles in solid-state TV equip-ment. To determine if the aforemen-tioned symptoms are caused by adefective tuner or IF component,check B+ and AGC to the tuner.Inject a modulated IF signal at theIF link. If the IF test signal passesthrough the video IF amplifier, thenthe defect is probably in the tuner.And the RF stage in the tuner maybecome inoperative because of toomuch or too little AGC voltage.

Measure the voltages of 01, Q2and Q3 in the tuner. Check thetransistors on an in -circuit transis-tor tester. But you'll need eagleeyes, the steady hands of a brainsurgeon and the patience of Job torepair these tuners (see Fig. 7).
The ability of the tuner to passRF is determined by injecting anRF sweep signal into the input of theRF stage. If the RF signal does notpass through the tuner, check theoscillator circuit. One easy way tocheck the oscillator is to measurethe transistor's emitter and basevoltages while rotating the fine tun-ing control. If the voltage varies,the oscillator is operating.
If you find the VHF tuner isoperating properly, check out thevideo IF section. Inject a 45MHzsignal (see Fig. 8). The first twostages of this IF strip are controlledby forward-AGC. Check the AGCvoltage at this point. If it is notcorrect, use a bias box to apply 3vpositive to test point II of the AGC

The symptoms that appear on theCRT screen of a defective set cansometimes be misleading. The pic-ture shown in Fig. 10, for example,would lead most technicians tosuspect AGC or sync troubles. Thissymptom, however, was caused byan open 1st IF transistor, Q4.

Fig. 1-The basic makeupof a squarewave withall elements in phase.
Using AudioTest and Alignment InstrumentsCombine a sine/squarewave generator with a good scope for faster and more efficient servicing
Two previous articles in thisseries covered multiplex signal gen-erator applications.
Sine/squarewave generators canalso be used effectively to locatedefective circuits in medium andwideband amplifiers. The square -wave generator, in conjunction withyour scope, can be a valuable instru-ment combination for troubleshoot-ing audio amplifiers.
It should be pointed out here thatthe price you would pay for a sine/squarewave generator depends onthe amount of audio service you doand how much you can afford tospend. A rule -of -thumb here indi-cates that you should spend as muchas you can afford.
The only requirements that mustbe met by the sine/squarewave gen-erator is good rise time (about
0.5p.sec or better) and a frequencyvariable between 60Hz and 25kHz.Generators in this category are alsoavailable in kit form. Most genera-tors cover the entire frequencyrange (both sine and squarewave)from 20Hz to 100 or 200kHz infour or five bands.
As most of us know, a theoreti-cally perfect squarewave is made upof an infinite series of odd harmonicsinewaves (1st, 3rd, 5th, etc.).
The basic makeup of a square -wave is shown in Fig. 1. All odd -numbered harmonics are shown inthe in -phase relationship-eachsinewave cycle. To develop thesquarewave as shown it is necessaryto draw a number of vertical linesthrough the squarewave and to add,algebraically (observing polarity),the magnitudes of the sinewaves
along this vertical line. For simplic-ity, we will only consider harmoniccontent to the 9th harmonic.
At "Al," for example, we havealgebraically added the fundamen-tal, 3rd, 5th, 7th and 9th harmonicswith the resultant summation ofwave magnitudes along a largenumber of vertical "check" lines toobta,n the squarewave.
When a squarewave is sentthrough an amplifier it is equal tousing a number of test frequenciessimultaneously. If the resultantsquarewave trace on the scope is notmisformed in any respect at variousfrequencies, then we can say theamplifier response is flat over a widerange of frequencies. If the square -wave frequency is 100Hz, the ampli-fier response is good up to about900Hz to 1.1kHz.

Test Setup

It should alsobe noted that the output impedancesof the generator and amplifier mustbe matched. Keep leads short. Al-low the amplifier and test instru-ments to warm for about 15min.

4. Set the generator tuning dialto 60Hz, for example, and adjustthe gain of the scope and the outputof the generator to obtain a goodsized sine pattern on the scopescreen. Keep in mind that the gen-erator output should be maintainedat minimum-consistent with oper-ating conditions-to minimize thepossibility of overloading the ampli-fier and introducing false indicationsof distortion.
Use the OUTPUT LEVEL control toset the maximum output desiredfrom the generator and then use theOUTPUT switch to reduce the genera-tor output.
5. Note the total height of thesine pattern on the scope screen bycounting the number of verticalsquares it occupies on the scope'scalibrated crosshatch mask (P -Pmeasurement).
6. Without touching any othercontrols or switches, merely rotatethe tuning dial of the generator to
200 and note the difference, if any,in the height of the sine pattern onthe scope.
7. Repeat the procedure for asmany frequency points as requiredto display the curvature of theamplifier response, using the P -Psinewave amplitude readings as indi-cated on the scope's cross hatchmask.
Squarewave GeneratorAmplifier Checks
Amplifier distortion can be classi-fied into the following three cate-gories:
Frequency Distortion. This refersto the change from normal ampli-tude of a component of a complexwaveform. Resonant networks orselective filters created by a combi-nation of reactive components(resonant networks and selectivefilters in amplifier circuits) willcreate peaks or dips in an otherwiseflat frequency response curve.
Non-linear Distortion. This refersto a change in waveshape producedby application of the waveshape tonon-linear components or elementssuch as electron tubes, an iron coretransformer and in an extreme case,
50 ELECTRONIC TECHNICIAN
a deliberate non-linear circuit suchas a clipper network.
Delay or Phase Distortion. Thisis distortion produced by a phaseshift between one or more compo-nents of a complex waveform.
In actual practice, a reduction inamplitude of a squarewave compo-nent (sinusoidal harmonic) isusually caused by a frequency selec-tive network which includes capac-ity, inductance or both. T h epresence of C or L introduces a dif-ference in phase angle betweencomponents-creating phase distor-tion, or delay distortion.
In squarewave testing of practicalcircuitry, we will usually find thatthe distorted squarewave includes acombination of amplitude and phasedistortion clues.
If we apply squarewaves to atypical wideband amplifier, we findthe check accurately reveals manydistortion characteristics of thecircuit.
As indicated in Fig. 2, the ampli-fier response was poor at low fre-quencies along with overcompen-sated high frequency boost.
A 100Hz squarewave applied tothe input of this amplifier will ap-
pear as in Fig. 3A. This illustrationindicates satisfactory medium fre-quency response (approx. 1kHz to2kH,z) but shows poor low fre-quency response. In Fig. 3B, a1 kHz squarewave was applied tothe input of the same amplifier.This figure displays good frequencyresponse in the region of 1 kHz to4kHz but clearly reveals the over-compensation at the higher 10kHzregion by the sharp rise at the topof the leading edge of the square -wave.
As a rule of thumb, it can besafely said that a squarewave canbe used to reveal response andphase relationships up to the 15thor 20th odd harmonic or up to ap-proximately 40 times the square -wave fundamental. Wide bandcircuitry will require at least a two -frequency check to analyze thecomplete spectrum properly. In thecase illustrated in Fig. 2, a 100Hzsquarewave will encompass compo-nents up to about 4kHz. To analyzeabove 4kHz and beyond 10kHz a1 kHz squarewave would be satis-factory.
The region between 100Hz and4kHz (Fig. 2) shows a rise from
Fig. 5-Graphicaldevelopment ofa similarly tiltedsquarewave Fx3out of phase(lead).
poor low frequency response to aflattening out from between 1kHzand 4kHz. Therefore we can expectthe higher frequency components inthe 100Hz squarewave will be rel-atively normal in amplitude andphase but the lower frequency com-ponents in this same squarewavewill be strongly modified by thepoor low frequency response of thisamplifier (see Fig. 3A).
If the combination of elementsin this amplifier were such as toonly depress the low frequency com-ponents in the squarewave, a curvesimilar to that shown in Fig. 4would be obtained. Reduction inamplitude of a component as al-ready noted, however, is usuallycaused by a reactive element whichresults, in turn, to a phase shift ofthe component, producing thestrong tilt shown in Fig. 3A. Thegraphical development of a simi-larly tilted squarewave is shown inFig. 5. The tilt is seen to be causedby the strong influence of the phase -shifted 3rd harmonic. It also be-comes evident that very slight shiftsin phase are revealed by tilt in thesquarewave. An up -coming articlewill explore this subject further.

III The previous article in this seriesexplained how a temperature -com-pensated, voltage -regulating transis-tor (Q9) is used in integrated circuit,IC201, to provide a nearly constantsupply voltage to the first five am-plifier stages. These stages containstill another circuit to improve theirstability further.
A Negative Feedback CircuitA resistor (R15) couples the base
of transistor Q2 to the emitter oftransistor Q6 (Fig. 1). Since theportion of the integrated circuitshown in this figure is used toamplify FM IF signals, the circuithandles frequencies of around4.5MHz. The 0.1,0 capacitor con-nected to the base of transistor Q2is, therefore, able to short these acsignals to ground. The ac portion ofthe transistor (Q6) emitter currentdevelops an ac voltage across resis-tors R7 and R15, while virtuallynone of this ac voltage appears atthe base of transistor Q2. If thevalue of resistor R15 is sufficientlylarge, it does not significantly re-duce the ac voltage across resistorR7.
If a temperature change or slightproduction variance results in anincreased dc current, a larger dcvoltage drop will result acrossresistor R7. This increases the for-ward bias of transistor Q2, increas-ing its collector current and thecurrent flow through resistor R2.
With a greater voltage drop acrossthat resistor, the base of transistorQ3 becomes less positive and areduction occurs in its dc collector

Semiconductorscurrent. This, in turn, results inreduced current through transistorQ4, increased current throughtransistor 05 and a reduced dc cur-rent through transistor Q6. The dcvoltage drop across resistor R7 is,
therefore, reduced and negativefeedback has taken place.
Transistors Q7 and Q8 function(Fig. 2) in the same manner astransistors Q1 and Q2 (describedwith Fig. 5 in the July 1967 article).A positive pulse applied to the baseof transistor Q7 causes that transis-tor to conduct more current andtransistor Q8 to conduct less cur-rent. This results in a reducedvoltage drop across the primarywinding of transformer T203, and

Transistor Q10 (Fig. 3) functionsin the same manner as transistorQ9 (described with Fig. 13 of theJuly 1967 article). Just as theequivalent to the circuit containingtransistor Q9 (Fig. 4 of the pre-vious article) is shown as Fig. 14

Transis-tor Q10 supplies a temperature -compensated, virtually constantvoltage source to the base of transis-tor Q5, the base of transistor Q8, asecondary winding of transformerT203 and resistor R14, which isconnected to a secondary windingof transformer T201.
When no signal is induced intothe secondary winding of trans-former T201, the base of transistorQ1 has a 2.1v bias - there havingbeen an insignificant dc voltagedrop across the transformer's sec-ondary winding and resistor R14.The 4.5MHz signal induced in thetransformer's secondary winding

Specifications indicate that the4.5MHz signal applied to terminal1 of the integrated circuit (Fig. 4of the July 1967 article) experiencesa gain of about 60db with a band-width of 70 to 801(11z before itleaves the circuit at terminal 5.
The frequency of the FM IFsignal, amplified in the first portionof the integrated circuit, varies withthe audio signal it contains. Thisvarying IF signal is applied to theprimary winding of discriminatortransformer T203 (Fig. 3).

Positive and negative changes ofvoltage generally appear on thescreen of an oscilloscope as a sine -wave - whether the signal observedis from an ac power line or someunmodulated RF source.

The Discriminator Circuit
The ac signal in the third lead inthe secondary of the discriminatortransformer (Fig. 9) is shorted toground by a 0.1,2f and a 0.014 ca-pacitor. The discriminator trans-former is designed in such a mannerthat at 4.5MHz the voltages inducedacross the grounded extra secondarylead are 90deg out of phase withthe voltages induced across theother two secondary leads.
For convenience, the first sec-ondary of discriminator transformerT203 is shown in Fig. 13 of thisarticle as coils 1 and 2 while thesecond secondary is shown as coil3. Curve A (Fig. 10) represents thevoltages induced across coil 2 at4.5MHz while curve B represents

Curve D represents the voltagesdeveloped across coil 1, while curveE, like curve B (curve E = curveB), represents the voltages de-veloped across coil 3. The voltagesapplied to the cathode of diode D3is shown as curve F and is the sumof the voltages developed acrosscoils 1 and 3 (curve F = curve D+ curve E).
Curves C and F are of equal am-plitude, and the same amount ofvoltage is applied to both diodes.

with each other, as in Fig. 6. Thevoltages applied to diodes D4 andD3, however, as can be seen fromcurves C and F, are not 180deg outof phase. They are instead 90degout of phase (0 = 90deg). Thevoltages developed across coil 3have resulted in a phase shift in thevoltages applied to the two diodes.
The curves in Fig. 11 show thevoltages developed across the samecoils (1, 2 and 3) at a frequencybelow 4.5MHz. At this lower fre-quency, the voltages developedacross coil 3 (curves B and E) arenot 90deg out of phase with thevoltages developed across coils 1
and 2. They are instead 18deg outof phase with the voltages developedacross coil 2 (curve A) and 162degout of phase with the voltages de-veloped across coil 1 (curve D). Thevoltage applied to diode D4 at thislower frequency is shown by curveC in Fig. 11 (curve C = curve A+ curve B). Curve C, as you mayknow, was formed by adding theamplitudes of curves A and B ateach point along their horizontal
axis and plotting the total amplitudealong corresponding points on an-other horizontal axis. The amplitudeof curve C is greater at the lowerfrequency (Fig. 11) than it was at4.5MHz (Fig. 10) - although theamplitude of curves A and B havebeen the same at both frequencies.The change in amplitude of curveC has resulted merely from a changein the phase angle between curvesA and B.
The voltages applied to diode D3at this lower frequency are shownby curve F in Fig. 11. The changein the phase angle of the voltagesinduced in coil 3 has reduced thevoltages represented by this curve(F).
The voltages applied to diode D4(represented by curve C) are 90degout of phase (0 = 90deg) with thevoltages applied to diode D3 (rep-resented by curve F).
When the frequency of the IFsignal is greater than 4.5MHz, thevoltages induced across coil 3 havestill another phase relationship withthe voltages induced across coils 1

In this third ex-ample, the voltages induced acrosscoil 3 (curve B) are 45deg out ofphase with the voltages inducedacross coil 2 (curve A) and 135degout of phase with the voltages in-duced across coil 1 (curve D). As aresult of this phase shift, larger volt-ages are applied to diode D3 thanto diode D4 (amplitude of curve E> amplitude of curve C).
Again, the voltages applied todiode D4 are 90deg out of phase(0 = 90 deg) with the voltages ap-plied to diode D3. This phase re-lationship is the same as those thatoccurred at 4.5MHz and the otherlower frequency. The phase relation-ship of the voltages applied to thetwo diodes (0) will not change withthe frequency of the IF signal -unless the frequency is one at whichthe phase of the voltages inducedacross coil 3 is the same as thephase of those induced across coil1 or 2. The frequency shift normallyexperienced, however, is not great
enough to produce such a phaseshift in the discriminator coils usedin this circuit. The phase angle (0)between the voltages applied to thetwo diodes is instead dependent onthe relationship of the voltages in-duced across coil 3 to the voltagesinduced across coils 1 and 2. CurvesC and F are 90deg out of phase(0 = 90deg) only when the am-plitudes of curves B and E are thesame height as curves A and D.(Curve B curve E, and the am-plitude of curve A = amplitude ofcurve D. 0 = 90deg when amplitudeof curve B = amplitude of curveA = amplitude of curve D.) In thenext article of this series we will seethat, with the capacitors in thedetector circuit (Fig. 13), we neednot be concerned with the phaseangles of the voltages applied tothe diodes (D4 and D3).

On page 61 in theAugust 1966 article of this series,we observed that electrical currentsflow from negative to positive.These currents can pass only fromthe anode to the cathode of a diode.Diode D4 in Fig. 13 will conductcurrent only when postive voltagesare applied to its anode (as shownin Fig. 3A on page 61 of the August1966 article), and diode D3 willconduct current only when negativevoltages are applied to its cathode(as shown in Fig. 3B of the samearticle).
Diode D4 (Fig. 13) is connectedin series with resistor R12, anddiode D3 is connected in series withresistor R11. When capacitors Cland C2 are not connected in thecircuit, the current flowing throughthe diodes will also flow throughthe series resistors. Under theseconditions, the resulting voltagedrops across resistors R12 and R11resemble curves G and I. Only posi-tive half -cycles appear across re-sistor R12, while only negative half -cycles appear across resistor R11.The resulting waveforms are thesame as those shown in Fig. 3 ofthe August 1966 article.

THE APPRENTICE AND THE PRO
A technician makeshis first house call
and learns how thepros operate
Part two of a continuing series
On a Monday morning, in theearly spring of 1962, Don Jackson,the TV -radio apprentice, was onthe way to his first home -call, andhis teacher, Bob Morkin, a certifiedtechnician and "pro," wasted notime initiating Don to some of thesimple customer -relations principlesinvolved in making house calls. Forone thing, he was told to take offhis rubber overshoes at the frontdoor, leave them on the front porchand wipe his shoes on the doormat.
"And remember one very impor-tant thing, I'll do all the talkingwhile we're in the house," Bobsmiled. "Also, since we have a fewminutes before we arrive at our firstcall, now's a good time to beginlearning some of the importantpolices of our operation.
Learning the Ropes
"For example," Bob continued,"there have been arguments in theindustry for years about 'home re-pairs' versus 'shop repairs.' And ourcompany does not make major re-pairs in the home. We don't replaceresistors, capacitors or other com-ponents, except tubes, unless the setis in warranty. In this case we doinstall a few flybacks, yokes andcertain resistors and capacitors-when the defective parts can beiso'ated easily and installed quickly.But on older sets, when more thana tube is necessary, we take thechassis to the shop. No techniciancan do a good job repairing sets inthe home. You can't wait around inthe house while the set 'cooks' forhours." Don was thoughtful as he
EIA Launches Training Program
Washington, May 16, 1967-TFe service committee of theElectronic Industries Assoc. (EIA) launches a long-term programin the areas of recruiting, training and upgrading electronicstechnicians needed in ever increasing numbers by electronicsservice -dealers.
This program is the latest phase in the association's long-standing effort to provide adequate service support for thecomplex electronic products used today and planned for thefuture.
Operating under instructions from EIA's consumer productsdivision executive committee, the service committee outlined aseries of actions to be taken in the following areas:
1. Career guidance through brochures, films, exhibits,lectures and every other form of communications to makepotential service personnel, and the people who counsel themin the schools, aware of the ca-eer opportunities awaitingthem in the consumer -products service area of the electronicsfield.
2. Vocational education upgrading to bring electronicsvocational education in this country up to the sophisticatedlevel demanded by the revolutionary technology now trans-forming consumer electronics-via teacher institutes, corres-pondence courses, bulletins, scholarships, etc.
3. Coordination with the service activities of manu-facturers, distributors, dealers aid other interested industrygroups.
The service technician develooment program's basic teamwill soon be expanded by the addition of an EIA staff specialistin technical vocational education.

began to realize how much there wasto learn about this business.
"Another thing," Bob said, as hepushed on with the briefing, "theboss is a stickler for methodicalprocedures. You'll soon begin tolearn how to work without wastedmotions. And you'll learn that cer-tain movements are made beforeothers. But, after a while, you'lldo it fast and automatically withoutthinking about it.
"For instance, when we arrive atthe front door on this call, and afteryou've removed your overshoes andwiped your shoes, take the smalldrop -cloth from the caddy and carryit inside-rolled up. When youarrive in the room where the setis located, place the drop -cloth onthe floor-whether there's a rug onthe floor or not-and place it to
the right or left rear side of the setabout a foot from the wall. I'll putthe caddy on that drop -cloth asecond later. If you were alone,you'd carry the caddy in one handand the small drop -cloth in the otherand you'd spread the cloth on thefloor with one hand and then setthe caddy on it.
"Then," Bob continued, "whileI switch the set on and take a look,open the caddy and take out thelarge drop -cloth and place it on topof the open caddy. Depending on theparticular situation, you'll probablyhelp me move the set away fromthe wall-and we'll turn it at anangle to the right or left-dependingagain on where the set is locatedand its relationship to the caddy.
"After this, spread the big drop -cloth on the floor back of the set,
get a IA in. hex -head wrench, aPhillips screwdriver and a cheatercord from the caddy and place themside by side on the top -right cornerof the drop -cloth. Then you standnear me on my left or right, depend-ing on which way the set is turned.You'll see what I mean after we getthe set away from the wall. What-ever else I ask for after that, re-move it from the caddy and handit to me. Thereafter, watch everymove I make-and keep your eyesand ears open."
Don was going over every stepof the routine in his mind as Bobhad outlined it.
"Can you remember all that?"Bob's voice interrupted Don'sthoughts.
"I've memorized every step of it,I think," Don said, grinning withconfidence.
"OK. Here we are now," Bobsaid, as he pulled the service truckalongside the curb and parked infront of the house.
Audio but No Picture
Everything went smoothly, ac-cording to plan, and Bob had alreadyswitched the TV set on. The screenof the 21in. B/W console lit up witha bright raster but no pictureshowed. Bob switched the tuner toall local channels and the screen wasthe same. The audio seemed strongon all channels as Bob turned up thevolume briefly and then backed it offagain. Then he switched the set offand glanced at the service ordercard. Following TROUBLE SYMPTOMSprinted on the card, he read: "goodaudio but no picture."
He stepped to one side of theset, removed the power cord fromthe wall outlet and then the twomen, facing slightly forward, liftedthe set, moved it forward slightlyand turned it about 45deg to theleft. The right rear leg (viewedfrom the back) was about 18in.from the wall.
Don picked up the large drop -cloth from the caddy, spread it on
60 ELECTRONIC TECHNICIAN
the floor back of the set and placedthe tools and cheater cord on theright top corner of the drop -cloth.He then stepped to the left.
Now Bob moved quickly behindthe set, picked up the hex -headwrench and Don noted that the firstscrew he removed from the set'sback cover was just below the acinterlock. Bob then picked up thePhillips -head screwdriver and re-moved one of the eight screws hav-ing captive washers that held theback to the cabinet-the screw inthe top left corner. Don also notedthat Bob continued to remove thescrews in a counter -clockwise direc-tion until the seventh screw, topright, was removed. Then Bob's lefthand suddenly grasped the "bump"on the back which covered the CRTsocket. He then removed the eighthand last screw, the one at the topcenter of the set's back. Suddenlyagain, Bob's right hand relieved hisleft hand which went quickly to theinterlock, pulled on it lightly andthe back came off. Bob then placedthe back against the wall out of theway to the right. Don had noticedby his wristwatch that Bob had re-moved the TV's back in less thanone minute.
Bob then turned to Don andwhispered, "did you notice howthe back was removed?"
"Sure did," Don said."Remember the procedure and do
it the same way every time. Thescrew at the top is removed lastto prevent the back from turningto one side or dropping down andcracking up something on the CRTneck. Of course, you don't have toworry too much about this on mostmodern wide-angle, short -neckedCRTs-but you have to watch iton some old sets," Bob said. "Be-sides, if you remove the screws ina regular way each time, you'll doit faster after awhile."
"Now we'll see if we can fix thisset. We think the video output tubeis defective. This set uses ih of a12AU7 as video output. Give mea 12AU7, please," Bob said.
When the defective tube was re-placed, the picture came in good.
"The mirror," Bob said.Bob removed a pencil from his
shirt pocket and began to tap lightlyon one tube after another, watchingthe screen in the mirror. The screenflashed two or three times and Bobsaid, "6AX4 please." Don removedone from the caddy and handed itto him.
Bob then showed Don how toremove the front safety glass. Hethen cleaned the CRT face and theglass. Bob adjusted the verticalheight and linearity controls slightly.
Finally, Bob said, "I think that'sit. Now I want you to replace theback on the set," and he removedthe cheater cord, rolled it up neatly,picked up the mirror and placedboth in the caddy.
Don experienced some slightdifficulty with the interlock for amoment but quickly replaced theinterlock screw, thescrew, then continued replacing theother screws. When he had finishedhe picked up the tools, rolled up thelarge drop -cloth and placed every-thing in the caddy. The two men thenmoved the set back to its normalposition near the wall.
Bob Morkin explained to the lady -of -the -house what had been doneto the set. Since this was a new,first-time customer, he went intodetails, explaining about the replacedtubes, cleaning the screen and theadjustments. He explained about theservice charge.
"The $5.95 charge for service,"he said, "is our cost of providingyou with honest and efficient service.It includes a portion of the rent andelectricity at the store. It includes aportion of my salary, cost of oper-ating the service truck, cost of toolsand many other necessary oper-ating expenses. Our company makeslittle or no profit on service callsat the price we charge . . ."
The lady interrupted Bob andasked, "What if one of the tubesyou replaced burns out?"
"If that happens within a 90 -day
period you get another tube free,"Bob answered. "But don't misunder-stand me," he added quickly. "Thetube. is free because the manufac-turer gives us another if it failswithin the 90 -day period. But themanufacturer won't pay us for put-ting the tube in your set. The cost ofservice remains the same. Thecharge will be the same as it wastoday."
The lady's brow puckered slightly,but she smiled and said, "Thatseems logical and fair, but why doyou need two technicians on a serv-ice call?"
"Here it comes," Don thought,"now Bob is stuck!" But Don under-rated Bob's human -relations andbusiness know-how.
"We don't need two men," Bobsaid quickly. "Don here," he said,turning to me, "has studied TV serv-icing for more than a year in tech-nical school but he is an apprentice
in training. He's likean intern-a doctor in training at ahospital. It will be three or fouryears before he'll be allowed to makea service call alone and be entrustedwith the responsibility of repairingyour TV or Hi FL Our companypays him a salary for doing otherwork around the shop-but noneof his salary comes from service -call charges."
Bob gave the set owner the twoold tubes explaining that one ofthem, the 6AX4, would probablytest OK on a "drug -store" tubetester but it had a defect and was re-placed before it broke down andcaused another service charge. Healso explained that a TV set-anyTV set-could break down withoutwarning at any time.
The two men left the house andentered the service truck. Bob Mor-kin called the shop on the two-wayradio and recorded two calls for theafternoon. Then the truck took offeastward across town to the nextservice call on the list. Bob and Donhad been in the house a full halfhour. Alone, the call would havetaken Bob only about 20 minutes.
