Next touch tube pins marked "DP" on the 12AV6 tube. If no signal, check or replace the following:
 

1. Check or replace 12AV6 tube.
2. Check or replace 12AV6 tube socket.
3. Check or replace condenser, item 19 on circuit diagram and parts
  layout.


Now change signal generator from audio position to generate an intermediate frequency signal. Set signal generator to 262 kilocycles, leaving .05 mfd condenser in signal generator lead to protect the signal generator from "D.C." voltage. Keep signal generator grounded to radio chassis.

Next touch tube pin marked "P" on 12BA6 intermediate frequency amplifier tube. If no signal, check or replace the following:
 

1. Check or replace intermediate frequency transformer, item 7 on circuit
  diagram and parts layout.
2. Check or replace resistors, items 39 and 41 on circuit diagram and parts
  layout.
3. Check or replace condenser, item 19 on circuit diagram and parts
  layout.
4. Check or replace volume control assembly, item 51B on circuit
  diagram and parts layout.


Next touch tube pin marked "G" on 12BA6 intermediate frequency amplifier tube. If no signal, check or replace the following:
 

1. Check or replace 12BA6 tube.
2. Check or replace 12BA6 tube socket.
3. Check or replace resistor, item 37 on circuit diagram and parts layout.


Next touch tube pin marked "P" on 12BE6 tube. If no signal, check or replace the following:
 

1. Check or replace intermediate frequency transformer, item 6 on circuit
  diagram and parts layout.


Next touch tube pin marked "G" on 12BE6 tube. If no signal, check or replace the following:
 

1. Check or replace 12BE6 tube.
2. Check or replace 12BE6 tube socket.


Next change signal generator from intermediate frequency setting to radio frequency signal, leaving the .05 mfd condenser in lead to protect signal generator from "D.C." voltage.

Set signal generator to 1000 kilocycles and tune radio receiver to 1000 kilocycles (100 on dial scale).

Next touch tube pin marked "P" on 12BA6 radio frequency amplifier tube. If no signal, check or replace the following:
 

1. Check or replace radio frequency coil, item 4 on circuit diagram and
  parts layout.
2. Check or replace oscillator coil, item 5 on circuit diagram and parts
  layout.
3. Check or replace condensers, items 14A, 14B, 15A, 158 and 16 on
  circuit diagram and parts layout.
4. Check or replace resistors, items 35 and 38 on circuit diagram and
  parts layout.


Next touch tube pin marked "G" on 12BA6 radio frequency tube. If no signal, check or replace the following:
 

1. Check or replace 12BA6 tube.
2. Check or replace 12BA6 tube socket.
3. Check or replace resistor, item 31 on circuit diagram and parts layout.


Next touch antenna terminal at antenna socket. If no signal, check or replace the following:
 

1. Check or replace antenna coil, item I on circuit diagram and parts
  layout.
2. Check or replace condensers, items 11 and 13 on circuit diagram and
  parts layout.
3. Check or replace chokes, items 2 and 3 on circuit diagram and parts
  layout.


This completes the entire checking procedure of the receiver, and if the procedure has been followed as outlined, the failure will have been located. After repairing failure, receiver will operate and should now be aligned for proper performance.
 

PROCEDURE FOR ALIGNMENT
OF 987187 RADIO


All receivers are properly aligned at the factory and should require no further adjustments, (except adjusting the receiver to the antenna when installation is made), unless the adjustments have been tampered with, or new coils, intermediate frequency transformers, or tuning cores have been installed.
