Lamps SERVICE NOTES HIGH-GAIN MIDGET SUPERHETERODYNES * Circuit of the Model 40 Fairbanks-Morse 4-tube superhet is fairly representative of the midget sets employing a regenerative second detector in place of an i-f. amplifier and what is said here will apply to many similar sets. Also a pentode is used as an oscillator-first detector. Heavy portion of circuit shows regenerative stage — energy is fed back from the plate to the grid coil via a small variable coupling condenser, size of which determines amount of regeneration. The 10,000 ohm resistor in the plate circuit acts as an r-f. choke so that the energy will feed back instead of going into audio system. When lining up the i-f. the feed UTRH UNDID PRODUCTS [0. back condenser should be set so that no oscillation is present. The condenser across the i-f. transformer should be adjusted for maximum response, then the regeneration condenser advanced until the set just oscillates. Back up the regeneration condenser slightly (so that set does not oscillate) and check alignment of main i-f. condenser. Alignment of the r-f. portion of set is same as any other. If this type of set (employing a pentode oscillator-modulator) refuses to operate or works intermittently, trouble is often due to a poor 6C6 tube. This type of oscillator is usually critical as regards the oscillator tube — tube tester will often show tube to be satisfactory — best method is to try other 6C6 tubes in oscillator socket.
