Check the area of your repair for unsoldered or poorly soldered connections Check the entire board surface for solder splashes and bridges. Cheek t “pinched interboard wiring to ensure that no wires are contact high-wattage resistor. 8. Check that all contol knobs, shields, covers, ground straps, ‘and mounting hardware havo been replaced. Be absolutely Certain that you have replaced all he insulators Look for unauthorized replacement parts, particularly transistors, that were installed during a previous repair Point them out tothe customer and recommned their replacement '5 Look for parts which, though functioning, show obvious signs of deterioration Point them out to the customer and recommend their replacement Check the line cord for eracks and abrasion. Recommend the Feplacement of any such line cord to the customer Check the consition of the monopole antenna (it any). ‘Make sure the end isnot broken oft and has the plastic cap on Point out the danger of impalement on a broken antenna to the customer, and recommend the antenna's replacement 18, Check the B+ and HV to see they are atthe values specified Make sure your instruments are accurate; be suspicious of your HV meter if sets always have low HV 8, Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, ‘metalized knobs, Screws, and all other exposed metal parts for AC leakage ‘Check leakage as described below To Exposed Metal | 2 vet +50 OZ] | Lj a LEAKAGE TEST The AC leakage from any exposed metal parts to earth ground and from all exposed metal parts to any exposed metal parts having @ return to chassis, must not exceed 0.5 mA(500 ‘microampers) Leakage current can be measured by any one of threo methods, 1. A commercial leakage tester, such as the Simpson 229 or ICA WT-540A, Follow the manufacturer instructions to use ‘hese instruments 2. A battery-operated AC mmlammotor The Data Precision 245 ‘digital multimeter is suitable fortis job 3, Measuring the voltage drop across a resistory by means of a VOM of battery-operated AG voltmeter The "mit" indication | 0 75V, so analog meters must have an accurate low-volage seale The Simpson 250 and Sanwa SH-63TAD are examples ‘of @ passive VOM that is suitable Neatly all battery operated ciital muftimeters that have a 2V [AG range are suitable (See Fig A) HOW TO FIND A GOOD EARTH GROUND ‘A cold-water pipe is quaranteed earth ground, the cover plete rotaning sero on mast AC outiet boxes is also at earth ground It the retaining sorw is tobe used as your earth ground, voy that itis at ground by moasuring the resistance between it and a coldwater pipe with an ohmmeter.
