B. Oscillator Frequency
— Load tape, switch to RECORD ( STEREO ). Pull out
lamp at optical end- of- tape switch if measuring without
tape.
— Oscillator frequency is measured with digital counter or
oscilloscope. The frequency is 120 kHz ( ± 5 kHz ) and
is measured at orange HB3 and blue HB6 ( fig. 6.4 — 60 )
against ground. ( Oscilloscope: 12 oscillations per 100
µsec ).
6.4.2. Dummy Load
The dummy load compensation is needed only when the
erase head is replaced ( balance of inductive strays from the
erase head during MONO - operation ).
— Load tape, switch to RECORD.
— Connect digital counter or oscilloscope to blue HB6
( fig. 6.4 — 60 ).

_A
— Measure RF - frequency in stereo mode.
— Disengage record pre- selector CH 2 and balance DUMMY
LOAD till same frequency is reached as in stereo mode.
