To Determine the Cause and Correction of LOW VOLUME, DUE TO AMPLIFIER TROUBLE
THE TROUBLE TESTS •
1. Observe all tube filaments
2. Observe volume control setting
3. Check if volume control knob is tight on shaft
4. Check reverse feedback setting
5. Change all tubes
6. Check all plate voltages at sockets
7. Check all screen voltages a\ sockets
8. Check all grid voltages at sockets (use only very high resistance voltmeter, or figure in current drain of meter used)
9. Check all heater (filament) voltages
10. Check with high resistance headphones to find stage where volume is lost
11. Visually inspect all connections and insulation in trouble area, tug wires, clean contacts, including tube socket and grid clip contacts
12. Using ohmmeter, check speech circuit parts in trouble area for internal open, ground, short or partial short

• All filaments lit One tube out
