GeneralServicing precautions
1.Always unplgthe receiverACpowercordfromthe AC
powersourcebefore:
a.Removing orreinstalling anycomponent,circuitboard
moduleoranyotherreceiverassembly.
b.Disconnecting orreconnecting anyreceiverelectrical
plug orotherelectricalconnection.
c.Connecting atestsubstituteinparallelwithan electro
lyticcapacitorinthe receiver.
CAUTION:Awrong partsubstitution orincorrectpolarigy
installation ofelectroiyticcapacitorsmayresultinan
expiosison hazard.
d.Discharging the picturetube anode.
2.Testhigh voltage onlybymeasuring itwithan appropri
atehigh voltage meterorothervoltage measuring de
vice(DVM,FETVOM,etc)equipped withasuitablehigh
voltage probe.
Donottesthigh voltage by“drawing an arc”.
3.Discharge the picturetube anode onlyby(a)firstcon
necting one end ofan insulated cliplead tothe degauss

wherethe picturetube socketground lead isconnected,
and then (b)otuchthe otherend ofthe insulated diplead

GeneralSoldering Guidelines
1.Useagrounded-tip.low-wattage soldering iron and
appropriatetipsizeand shape thatwill maintan tip
temperturewithen the range or500kto600k.
2.Usean appropriategauge ofRMAresin-coresolder
composed of60partstin/40partslead.
3.Keep the soldering iron tipclean and well tinned.
4.Thorohlyclean the surfacestobe soldered Useamall
wirebristle(0.5inch.or1.25cm)brushwithametalhandle.
Donotusefreon-propelled spray-on cleaners.
5.Use the following unsoldering technique
a.Allow the soldering iron tip to reach normal temperature
(500k to 600k)
b.Heat the component lead until tne solder melts.
c.Quicklydraw themelted solderwithananti-statlc,suc tion-
