Section V<br />

Paragraphs 5-77 to 5-85<br />

Supply<br />

*6.3V<br />

cont’d<br />

Symptom<br />

Low output<br />

(Voltmeter<br />

from +6.3V<br />

to -6.3V<br />

output)<br />

5-77. HIGH-VOLTAGE POWER SUPPLY.<br />

Procedure Effect<br />

Reconnect blue wire and measure<br />

voltage from collector of Q483<br />

to emitter<br />

Short collector of Q484 to emitter<br />

Check -100 volt supply output<br />

Short collector of Q483 to emitter<br />

Remove short from Q483 and meas-<br />

ure voltage from collector of<br />

Q483 to emitter<br />

Measure voltage from collector of<br />

Q484 to emitter<br />

5-78. Waveforms and dc voltages are given as a<br />

troubleshooting aid on the high-voltage power-supply<br />

schematic diagram, figure 5-31.<br />

5-79. The cause of an output voltage whichistoo high<br />

or too low can best be isolated by measuring dc volt-<br />

ages. Start with the resistor divider string composed<br />

of resistors R328 through R337. Then checkvoltages<br />

on regulator tube V306 and rf oscillator tube V301.<br />

5-80. The cause of loss of regulation can also best<br />

be isolated by this method. A changein the crt cath-<br />

ode voltage in the positive direction should be sensed<br />

by V306 and appear as apositive change at the screen<br />

grid, pin 9, of V301. Theplatevoltage of V301 should<br />

then increase accordingly. Likewise, a negative<br />

change in crt cathode voltage should cause the plate<br />

voltage of V301 to decrease.<br />

5-81. VERTICAL AMPLIFIER.<br />

5-82. As a troubleshooting aid, nominal dc voltages<br />

and signal waveforms are given on the vertical-<br />

amplifier schematic diagram, figure 5-18.<br />

5-83. UNBALANCE. Unbalance in direct-coupled<br />

differential amplifier Vl-V4 and V7-V9 can be isolated<br />

by measuring the dc voltages on the various tube<br />

elements. In order to eliminate the effect of any<br />

unbalance in the vertical plug-inunit, short pins 2 and<br />

7 of V1 together. Since a properly operating differ-<br />

ential amplifier has equal voltages on each side of the<br />

amplifier, another method may be used to isolate an<br />

unbalanced stage. Proceed as outlined in table 5-6.<br />

Approx 2.5 volts Q483 good<br />

0 volt Q484 shorted<br />

Greater than 2 volts Q484 good<br />

Measure voltage across CR483 0 volt CR483 shorted<br />

6 volts CR483 good<br />

5-84. IMPROPER GAIN. Insure that the vertical<br />

plug-in unit gain is correct and that the gain of the<br />

amplifier cannot be set properly by adjusting Gain<br />

Control R45. If not, mechanically center R45, and<br />

set up the conditions of waveform measurements<br />

given in the vertical-amplifier schematic diagram<br />

notes, figure 5-18. To isolate the cause of abnormal<br />

gain, check the gain of each stage of the amplifier<br />

against the waveforms given in figure 5- 18 starting<br />

from the input.<br />

5-85. COMPRESSION. The compression of the ver-<br />

tical amplifier can be checked in the following manner:<br />

a. Connect a 1-kc sine wave signal to vertical<br />

INPUT.<br />

b. Connect a high-impedance ac voltmeter isolated<br />

from ground to the vertical crt deflection plates, D3<br />

and D4. CAUTION: +300 VOLTS present on both<br />

terminals.<br />

c. Vertically center the trace on the crt, and ad-<br />

just the sine wave amplitude and vertical SENSITIVITY<br />

for a reading of 1.0 volt on voltmeter.<br />

d. Position the trace to the top of graticule.<br />

e. The voltmeter reading should be 1.0 volt *0.05<br />

volt.<br />

f. Position the trace to the bottom of graticule.<br />

g. The voltmeter reading should be 1.0 volt *0.05<br />

volt.<br />
