SYMPTOMS 
Check Fuse (Fl). 
Check 
M1. 
Check AIAF,  CIA-D,  C3, R4, 
R5, 
A6DS1,  and 
A6V1. 
CheckR2,  R3,  andS2R8. 
Check R4 and 
R5.

Check diode A4CR1.  Spare diode located 
on 
out- 
side of  A4  shield. 
Check to see 
if 
high pass filter 
is 
in the 
OUT 
position. 
TMENT 
SYMPTOMS 
Check AlC1,  AlC11,  AlCR3,  AlCR4,  AlCR? and 
A1Q4 through AlQ6. 
Check -25 volts 
(see 
Symptom  2-A  above), AlC2, 
AlC6,  AlCR1,  AlCR2 and AlQlthroughAlQ3. 
Check -25 volts (see Symptom  2-A above), A2C4, 
A2C14 and A2Ql through A2Q4. 
Check -25 volts (see Symptom 2-A  above),  +25 
volts 
(see 
Symptom  2-B  above),  A2C15,  A2Q5 
through A2Q9. 
check for -4 Vdc 
at 
+ 
meter terminal and Check 
M1. 
Check +8.2 volts bias (see Symptom 2-Dabove), 
Check A2Q5 through A2Q9,  and A2C23. 
Check A2C22.  (Increasing value 
of 
capacitor 
will decrease meter reading). 
Check -25 volts 
(see 
Symptom  2-A  above),  +25 
volts (see Symptom 2-B  above),  A3C1,  A3C6 
and A3Q1 through A3Q3. 
Check -25 volts 
(see 
Symptom 2-A  above), 
A3C7,  and A3Q4 through A3Q6.  Change 
A3R17.  (Increasing  value 
of 
resistor 
wilI 
increase voltage 
at 
A3TP2.)
