Simple to Operate.

If batteries are O. K, then test to
see If the trouble lies In the detector
or amplifier circuits. To do this, re-
move the plug from the phones and
attach one tip to the plate of the
detector and the other tip attach to
the 223s or 45-yolt battery terminal.
Now try and tune In. If you hear
signal, then you know the trouble lies
in the audio part of the receiver. If.
however, you still hear no signal, the
trouble lies in the detector.
Examine carefully all connections
at sockets, condensers and transform
ers to see that none have worked
loose. Make sure that there are no
wires touching each other or that con-
denser plates are not touching.
If, however. you heard signal in
the phones on the detector, then test
the contacts on the Jacks. If they
look all right, then test both primary
and secondary windings on trans
formers with pair of phones and
small C battery.
The fixed condensers should now be
tested if the set is still dead, although
1t is likely that the tests above will
have revealed the fault. Philadelphia

There are few simple tests that
can be made that will tell where the
trouble lies. First, when you turn
up the rheostats do all of the tubes
light? II they do, thea you can be
fairly sure that your A battery is
@. K. If, however. the tubes do not
light. then test the A battery to see
that It is not run down. If it tests
up all right, then examine the rheo-
stat. switch and connections between
the A battery and the set, for one of
these parts is defective and Is not
making contact. If, however, the tubes
light. then 5isconnect the 45-volt B
battery lead and note If there Is a
click when it is removed or replaced.
u you get no sound, then examine all
connections to plates Of tubes. IT
