all wave 15 question

[douglas wright]

Happy new year to all, my first question is the volume control, i have a pictorial of the underside of the chassis, it shows the volume control to be a dual 500k volume and 700-ohm gain control. my chassis has only a single volume control, which I need to take apart, it is hard to turn. is it supposed to be a dual control? the schematic from riders does not show the gain control that I can see.

second question, the tuning indicator, if it is defective, will it affect the performance of the set?

the operator's manual says to remove the leads from the screw terminal and bridge with a wire, if it fails to function.

If the wave change switch is in the BC position, the coil wheel is in the set correctly. The one tube with NO wires on it is the BC RF, because the BC antenna coil is <above> the chassis. For the 3 SW bands, the RF coils switch in. But if the SHAFT is 180 deg out of phase (which is what it looked like with the wafer switch, then that would be why the coil wheel isn't setting correctly on the turret.

Kent, 

Is the blank coil form supposed to be facing the front or where it is now?

Right where it is...it is as it should be.

Kent, 

thanks for the information, on the cam what do you recommend on how to put the cam back in time?

[Kent King]

Well, I would unscrew the nut on the wafer switch, turn it 180 deg and then put it back on the shaft. It should align with the notch on the wafer, and behave correctly when turned. Let us know...
