Philips RF-afstellen met de 15 graden mal (Algemeen)

door Pandu Rajan @, 19.02.2016, 12:24 (3202 dagen geleden)

Dear forum members

In the radio sets type BX765X/BX665X/BX798X/BX565X and other similar types the procedure for the RF alignment states that first the Gang condenser has to be set to minimum against the 15 degree jig and the pointer has to be set to 15 degree mark on the dial. Which is the 15 degree mark shown on the dial? I am unable to locate the same. Does anybody has the sketch for the 15 degree jig?

Thanks
Regards

Well, Mr. Rajan....
This is the official way described by Philips service, but it is not the only way.
On my BX660X I too, couldn't find that 15 degree mark so did it on my own procedure:
The tuning capacitor is able to make a complete 1/2 turn; on my BX660x these 180 degrees result in a pointer travel of 25,6 centimeters.
On your receiver that distance may be different, but anyway 15 degrees is 1/12 of 180; so I ran the pointer to its end position and then 1/12th of 25,6 centimeters (= 2,13 centimeter) back from there. That way the tuning capacitor will have turned its 15 degrees.
Then you adjust the tuning circuits and after completing that, you tune the receiver to, for example, 5 Megahertz from your signal generator.
Now you can adjust the position of the pointer to indicate the correct place on the scale (not moving the tuning capacitor)
Maybe the accuracy is not 100% but I find it satisfactory.
Hoping that this may be of help
Nico

Mr Rajan,

The 15° template is pictured in the service manual of the BX560:

It is also used in the BX660 and BX760 radios.

I can't remember the details anymore, since this was 10 years ago, but I made one out of a piece of aluminium:

Hope it is of help to you.

Yes, Jac...
I've seen that picture before, but to me it seems of little help as long as the exact sizes remain unknown
Sorry!

Hi Nico,

You are right - I should have mentioned this:

The exact dimensions are of no importance.
You just mark a rotation of 15° and make something that stays in position (hence the hook) and has the variable capacitor rotated at 15° when snug against the tool.
You see that I filed some off the piece of aluminum to adjust it to the correct angle of the variable capacitor.

Jac.
