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.
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. Follow the manufacturers' instructions to use these
instruments.
2. A battery-operatedAC 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-operatedAC voltmeter. The "limit" indication
is 0.75V, so analog meters must have an accurate low voltage
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 2VAC range are suitable. (See

2. HOW TO REPLACE A ROTARY
UPPER DRUM (HiFi MODEL)
See below for note.
2-1. HOWTO 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.
Fig. 4
2-2. HOWTO 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 2by 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.
