eliminates the frying sound of the old
carbon microphone, while fitting into
the plastic handle of the carbon model.
The Remler Co. is making a commercial
model of similar design.
The transistor element, second from
the right in the foreground of the photograph, is extremely rugged and easy to
assemble. Next to the transistor amplifier are the handle switch and rubber
cover used in the old and new models.

screening. A piece of soft plastic material or modelling clay held the screen
to the case. The other antenna (bottom in photo) was more elaborate. The
disc -composed of a single molded
piece of soft plastic- contained a small
hook of copper wire and a ceramic
.O1 -f capacitor. Both leads of the capacitor were apparently connected together by the clamp which held the
wire hook to the lead.
Barring the remote possibility of
some new discovery in radio propagation, it would seem reasonable to suppose that these miracle antennas should
work much like simple pieces of wire
of similar dimensions.
STABLE TRANSISTORS and germanium-silicon alloys that will permit
transistors to operate effectively at
high heat levels have been announced
by Sylvania.
Transistor stability was attained
through "stabilized germanium ", immune to the effects of surface moisture
which sometimes reduce greatly the amplifying qualities of the transistor, or
cause it to fail entirely.
In discussing the new germanium silicon alloys, Sylvania stated that
while a present -day transistor will not
operate efficiently when the germanium
crystal is heated to a point above 212
Fahrenheit, the new alloy will permit
effective transistor action up to a
temperature of about 350 .

As you have checked all tubes, voltages, and components, the trouble may
be caused by poor tuner tracking or
video-i.f. alignment. It is possible, however, that you have overlooked the

be causing the poor contrast. Also

Some v.t.v.m.'s have zero -center indication, while others do not; still other
v.t.v.m.'s provide a choice of zero -left,
or zero -center indication on d.c. ranges.
The zero- center feature is convenient
when adjusting discriminators, where
the output voltage swings through both
positive and negative values during
circuit adjustment.
The high-frequency voltage-measuring section of a v.t.v.m. is useful in
checking the operation of a.c. circuits.
This is a field of servicing which has
been the subject of extremely rapid
changes in the last few years. Not long
ago all a.c. measurements were carried
out upon the basis of sine -wave indications, and this approach is still basic in
radio receiver servicing. However, with
the arrival of television, the technician
is faced with the necessity of measuring peak -to -peak voltages of complex
a.c. waveforms. In some cases, the
peak-to -peak values must be further

structed.
We thought it over and came to the
conclusion that we could do our job
just as well, and reduce the cost considerably, if we used a relative field strength meter. In this case we are not
concerned so much with an absolute
measurement as we are with a relative
measurement; a comparison of one signal with another. We thus do away
with the expensive and troublesome
problem of calibration. In other words,
we are not so interested in measuring
exactly how many microvolts -per-meter
exist at a given location as we are in
determining if a signal is satisfactory
or unsatisfactory. With this requirement in mind, we set out to construct
a simple meter which would easily read
such signals.
Since our main concern was for
checking TV signals, our first thought
was to insert a meter in the detector
circuit of a standard television receiver,
thus allowing us to read the signal
strength as the set is operated as a
regular receiver. While this would allow
both sound and picture identification,
even a small 7-inch set proved too bulky
and was not sufficiently shielded. As a
result, we set out to build a simple,
small, portable meter.
The first item to be considered was
the tuner, or "front end" of the meter.
A quick glance through the spare parts
bin produced a complete television -tuner
assembly, covering all 12 v.h.f. channels. This happened to be an RCA type
206E3 tuner assembly, but nearly any
of the tuners which are on the market
as surplus or replacement units may be
used. The tuner thus takes care of the
input radio frequency stage, the oscillator and the mixer stage, all in one
neat unit, being mounted on a standard

simplicity.
Most of the manufacturers of high fidelity equipment have taken notice of
this and are now offering simplified,
more compact units combining phonopreamplifiers, control units, program
selectors, power amplifier, and power
supply -all on one chassis. I have just
tested one of these -the Golden Knight

Radio, in the medium price range at

was designed) I doubt that,
given the same program material and
speakers, as many as 1% could discern
any difference between the Golden
Knight and the cost- is-no- object amplifiers. It represents a successful attempt
to produce fidelity acceptable to 99%
of the market, with simplified controls
and at a price well below the average
with very high plate and screen voltages (465 and 420 respectively). With
such high operating voltages, the tubes
ara being driven to only a fraction of
maximum possible output and operate
on the flat portion of their curves. A
special output transformer with grain oriented core and interleaved windings
no doubt accounts for the clean performance at the extremes of the frequency range and at high power output. What appears to be about 20 db
of feedback is applied to the three
stages of the power amplifier. Finally,
the amplifier has potentiometers for
adjusting the bias voltage on the output tubes, and the rest of the output
tubes. These do much to correct the

Until the arrival of LP records, Cop land's El Salon Mexico was my favorite
test record. Copland is especially clever
in approaching (though never quite
rer.ching) outright dissonance. Such
sections provide a wonderful check of
system distortion because even a little
distortion will throw the music over
the edge into extremely unpleasant
dissonance.
He is also fond of using several
brasses playing in unison or exquisitely
close harmony. On a system of poor
definition the result sounds like one
badly muted horn; but on a good system
it is actually possible to count the horns.
His deep bass rhythms and more or less
onomatopoetic (sounds resembling natural sounds like gunfire, dancing feet)
passages are excellent measures of
transient response.
In this version of the Third Symphony we have all this and a superlative
example of high -fidelity recording at
its best with plenty of realism but no
artificial high -fidelity effects. The recording is good enough so you can safely
assume that any serious aberration in
the output of your speaker is the fault
of your system, not the record.

not all are adequate in low- frequency
response. We are rapidly improving
our ability to record, transmit, and
reproduce the lowest octave of sound
from 16 cycles up. Also, the behavior
of a system at these low frequencies
affects the behavior of the whole system- especially from the point of view
of distortion -more than any other
portion of the spectrum. This is partly
because these low- frequency components are of high amplitude and are
usually boosted in amplifiers to make
up for attenuation in transmission or
deficiencies in loudspeakers. The result
all too often is that the system is first
overloaded in this region. Since a high fidelity system is very flat above this

not up to laboratory standards, is more

Rivaling both the scope and generator in usefulness, and perhaps even
more important in diagnosing and restoring a high -fidelity system to proper

from outright inoperation, caused by a

higher-than -normal distortion. Distortion is not too easy to trace. To make
matters worse, high-fidelity addicts are
likely to be hypercritical. A means of
checking distortion is therefore almost
absolutely essential.

RADIO
Circuit
Fig. 1 shows the oscillator alone. Except for resistors Rl, R2, and R3 which
stabilize the d.c. operating points of the
transistor, the circuit is a simple type
where feedback is tapped from the tuning capacitors rather than the coil. This
is a matter of convenience so permeability tuning can be used. Capacitors
Cl and C2 bypass the r.f. around the
battery and base resistor.
To also function as an audio amplifier and modulator a few extra components are necessary. (See Fig. 2.) The
microphone is connected in the base circuit from the bias resistor R2. This resistor-and also Rl -must be bypassed
with electrolytics to prevent audio degeneration. Since R1 must be bypassed
for audio, we must keep the r.f. feedback from going to ground too. The
choke labeled RFC prevents this.
Resistor R4 stops a periodic blocking
of the r.f. oscillator by the voltage developed across Rl, C3. Two hundred
ohms for R4 kills instability for all
transistors, but 100 ohms is usually
enough. The lowest value that prevents
motorboating of the carrier is the most
desirable since high values of R4
reduce audio gain.

Amplifier
Once the oscillator is built you may
want to add an extra stage of audio
amplification. This gives satisfactory
operation with VR cartridges. An amplifier is shown in Fig. 4. Like the oscillator, the amplifier is d.c. stabilized.
There is no need to make any circuit
adjustments for individual transistors.
The output of the amplifier is connected
directly to the audio input terminals of
the oscillator.
Conclusions
The phono oscillator makes a very
good experimental transistor project.
The range is limited because of the low
power, yet it can transmit a signal
from room to room. Except for the
transistor itself, standard low -cost components are used in the circuit.

MULTIVIBRATORS ..EO.,,,.E,
THERE was a time when the radio
and electronics technician could
afford to ignore multivibrator cir-
capacitors or the grid resistors. A selector switch and several different values
of coupling capacitors will permit
choice of frequency range. Within eacha
range, the frequency can be varied by
a dual potentiometer used as the grid
resistors.

The IR drop across Rl drives VI
beyond cutoff.
8. When C2 has completed its
discharge, VI is no longer cut off.
9. V1 begins to conduct plate
current, and the cycle repeats.
From this analysis, it is obvious that
conduction in either tube causes the
other tube to be driven to cutoff. The
length of time each tube remains cut
off depends upon the R -C time -constant
of the grid circuit. When the time constants of both grid circuits are made
equal, each tube remains cut off for the
sane length of time -hence the name
symmetrical multivibrator. The grid
resistors are sometimes returned to
E plus rather than to ground. The

densation lasts.
When all these methods have failed,
there is probably no hope of ever reading the etch. The only sure way to then
find the tube type is by using a tube
tester to narrow down the possibilities
to two or three types, and then to set
up a breadboard layout to measure the
tube element currents at various potentials and match these against the variEND
ous published characteristics.
CORRECTIONS
Burnett, of Richmond, Va.,
calls our attention to the fact that the
heater shunt resistor in the picture tube checker (page 145 of the October
1953 issue) should be approximately
14 instead of 33 ohms as specified.
In the article "A Broad -band V.H.F.
Antenna," page 53 of the December,
1953, issue, the last sentence in the first
column reads as follows: Adding all
currents together we see that dipoles
The

The triode unit with its relatively
high zero-bias plate current is useful in
low-frequency oscillator, sync separator, sync clipper, and phase splitter circuits. The high -transconductance pentode unit may be used as an i.f. amplifier, video amplifier, a.g.c. amplifier,
and reactance tube. The basing arrangement and internal construction of the
6AN8 are designed so that coupling between the triode and pentode unit is
virtually eliminated.
A very interesting tube type is the
6BD4, a sharp -cutoff low- current beam
triode designed as a voltage regulator
for high -voltage, low-current d.c. power
supplies used with the tricolor 15GP22.

(Assigned to Bell Telephone Laboratories, Inc.)
The transistor is the dual of a tube. This
means
that semiconductors behave with respect
to current just as tubes do with respect to voltage.
The new circuit was designed to be the
dual of
a tube cathode follower. It provides
considerable
power gain and handling capacity. Its input

power gain does exist because the output resistance is so much higher than the input resistance.
The input resistance can be controlled
adding a resistor in series with the base. In a by
typical
case, a transistor connected as in the
diagram
had an input of 71 ohms. Adding 800
ohms
series with the base lowered the input value in
to
only 3 ohms.

This method will enable you to receive signals between 1945 and 3095 kc.
If you use this system for short-wave
reception on a set tuning from 550 to
1600 kc with a 456-kc i.f., the tuning
range is approximately 1915 to 2965 kc.
The circuit is easy to adjust. Set the
receiver's original bandswitch to the
broadcast band. Feed a strong modulated signal from a signal generator
tuned to 2366 kc into the receiver's antenna post. With the auxiliary band -

Iv to specifications. Proof of Rohn construction lies in the fact that thousands
of towers have been sold in the past
several years and have successfully
withstood the rigors of time in all
climates and under the severest of

IN PERFORMANCE
Rohn Towers assure you of
switch set for broadcast, tune the receiver toward the high-frequency end
of the band until you pick up the signal. Peak the signal with the tuning
control. Throw the auxiliary switch to
short -wave and then adjust the shortwave trimmer and slug for maximum
signal.
In some areas, strong broadcast stations on the high end of the band may
ride through and interfere with 2 -mc
shortwave reception. This can be prevented by connecting a tuned wave trap
in series with the antenna lead to the
primary of the shortwave coil as shown.

INTERMITTENT VERTICAL
CENTERING
? In an Admiral 20T1 receiver the
picture changes position vertically, leaving a dark area at the bottom. This
occurs only once every several hours
and returns to normal almost immediately. I have tried tube changes but this
did not help. When the antenna is disconnected, the same thing happens to
the raster. What checks should I make
to find the trouble? T. C., Philadelphia,
Pa.
A.
If centering disturbance in a vertical plane is the only symptom, it could
be caused by a variation in the voltage
applied to the vertical deflection coils.
Initially, check the low- voltage power
supply feed to the vertical deflection
coils. Then check for defective components in the vertical output circuit,
particularly the voltage feed to the
oscillator and output tube. Also check
the vertical size -control potentiometer
for an intermittent -contact condition
or change in value.
The B plus for the vertical oscillator
and output tube is derived from the
voltage boost system in the 6W4-GT
damper circuit. Any voltage change in
the damper (or a change in the horizontal circuit flyback characteristics) will
influence the vertical circuit. Try a new
damper; if this doesn't help, check the
components in the voltage boost system.

REMOTE VOLUME CONTROL
A volume control to change the sound
level of a radio or television loudspeaker from a remote point is often desirable. The arrangement shown is somewhat unconventional in that it reduces
the loudness by bypassing part of the
signal around the speaker. It is practical for connections which must be made
on the spur of the moment. For example, the control can be quickly made
on a public address setup where the
operator wants to be located away from
the amplifier so he can better judge
the sound from the speakers and can
reduce the volume at once in case of
feedback.

CAPACITOR
SUBSTITUTION BOX
This simple capacitor substitution
box uses 2 switches to obtain 30 different capacitance values with only 20
fixed capacitors. The circuit shows how
the capacitors can be connected in
series, or parallel, or used singularly to
give values that are one -half, one, and
two times the basic value. A 12 -point
rotary switch selects the basic value
and a double-pole, 3- position lever
switch sets the multiplier range. A
neon lamp was connected in the 11th

RESISTOR STORAGE
When a service shop has lots of room
for spare parts, a separate bin or compartment can. be allotted for each resistor value. Where storage space is
at a premium, store all the resistors in
10 compartments, labeling each only
with the number of coded zeros on the
resistors.
By using the last color as a marker,
it is necessary to look through only 10
compartments. -Harvey Muller

REFORMING ELECTROLYTICS
An electrolytic capacitor that has
been in storage or idle for six months to
a year may have an abnormally high
leakage current when voltage is first
applied across it. This current will
gradually taper off to normal as the
capacitor reforms. But in many instances it does not taper off fast enough
to prevent internal heating. This increases the leakage current and leads
to early breakdown. To prevent such
occurrences, clectrolyytics which have
not had voltage applied to them for a
comparatively long time should be reformed before being placed in service.
The process consists of applying normal working voltage to the capacitor
through a series resistor to limit the
current to a safe value.

STABILIZING THE
HEATHKIT SCOPE
A simple modification may improve
the stability of the direct-coupled vertical amplifier circuits of the Heathkit
model 0 -8 oscilloscope and make the
instrument easier to use in areas where
line voltages fluctuate.
In this instrument, the 6C4 phase
inverter is direct- coupled to half the
12AT7 vertical voltage amplifier. Voltage fluctuations on the power line cause
proportionate changes in the B voltages
delivered by the scope's power supply.
In the direct -coupled amplifier circuit,
these voltage changes affect the amplifier gain and cause the trace to jitter.
Fig. 1 shows the original B plus circuit in the 0 -8. Point C on the supply
feeds the plate circuits of the 6C4 phase
inverter and 12AT7 amplifier. By adding two series- connected OB2 voltage regulator tubes, the voltage at this
point is stabilized at 210.

HIGH-FIDELITY SPEAKERS
Dear Editor:
H. A. Hartley's Part I of his article
on High-Fidelity Loudspeakers shows,
by far and away, the best approach
to this subject I have ever seen. By this
I mean very definitely to indict the
many mathematical approaches to this
subject which are all but worthless;
even, I strongly suspect, to those whe
made them. My hat is off to Mr. Hartley for a down -to-earth appraisal based
on physical concepts and good ears.
His reference to Hans Vogt's Oscilloplan capacity speaker is much to the
point. I spent several days with Mr.
Vogt at Berlin in 1930 and brought
back one of these speakers with its
high -voltage rectifier, and polarizing voltage supply apparatus. All of this
I still have in my laboratory.
Mr. Hartley- through no fault of
his own -credits Rice and Kellogg with
the introduction of the first real dynamic speaker in 1926-27. I would like
to make claim to an earlier date; for.
in 1921, while developing the first electro- phonographic recording and reproducing apparatus for the Brunswick Balke, Collender Co., in Chicago, I produced such speakers. One of these used
