    Adjusting if cans

    When adjusting IF cans with 2 slugs how do you know which to adjust first? Is it just a case of getting the strongest signal by moving both?

    $31 fm alignment signal generator

    So i put together this very inexpensive fm alignment setup. The signal generator from alibaba ($15) and the fm transmitter from Mercari ($16). The signal generator is very very nice for its price and size. You can set the frequency and control the amplitude from a dial. There a different...

    $20 Fm alignment tool idea

    So why can’t I pickup up one of those cheap fm modulators that are used to connect to a car radio with built in Bluetooth and play a tone through my phone to the tuner and adjust the cans for maximum output? Seems a lot cheaper than a $400 (at least) fm alignment generator.

    More Fisher 400 FM Alignment Questions

    I purchased and restored a Fisher 400 a while back. It won’t win any beauty contests but it plays beautifully. The FM section played well but despite folks recommending caution I decided to try my hand at FM alignment. I have read a lot of the posts on the subject but not all of them. The 400...

    Vintage Radio Strong Station Distortion

    Working on a Motorola Model: 13KT15CW Chassis: Ch= HS-677. Just finished recapping the filter caps, all paper caps, and cleaning tube leads. The amp sounds great but the radio needs some tweaking. Generally it works pretty well but the issue at hand is that I've got a couple of strong signal...

    FM Generator Reputation

    Hello I've been offered one of three FM generators at a very reasonable price. I intend to use it for AM and FM alignments. I don't have a distortion analyzer, so I probably won't be doing MPX alignments, so while I appreciate that one of the two units has stereo, and one does not, I likely...

So basically the tuner works on mono and I have good signal on many stations, but the 'Tune' level wont center properly so on an auto scan most all real stations get ignored and it will stop on some in-between station...

    2240 FM has a compressed tuning range - 88MHz - 106.5MHz on the dial

    I'm unable to adjust the oscillator so that the FM tuning range goes from 88 to 108 on the dial scale. The low end can be adjusted so 88MHz is 88 on the dial scale. But the high end 108MHz signal can be adjusted only to 106.5 on the dial scale, no higher. The full range of signals from 88 to...

    First attempt at FM alignment

    I have a Technics SA5400X receiver that I got for parts and just completed its restoration. The tuner seems to be working, although reception is quite weak, it only picks very few stations and it is pretty noisy. I therefore decided to use it to try my first ever alignment. I currently do not...

    100 KµV Meaning

    In working through the alignment of a Marantz 120b tuner, I keep running into units I don't understand. If anyone can shed some light on what KµV means, I would appreciate it. I've looked in manuals for several different Marantz tuners, and I can't find an explanation. It's used in several...
