Carbon film resistors have been supplied with your kit in place of many of the carbon composition resistors previously used. Although carbon composition resistors may still be illustrated in your Manual, the values, color codes and installation of these components remain the same. However, there are three important facts you should remember: 1. All carbon film resistors supplied with your kit have a tolerance of 5%, You can use them in any assembly step which calls for. 5% or 10% tolerance resistors. 2. Carbon film resistors have a greater heat dissipating ability for their physical size than carbon composi- tion resistors, 3, 1/2-watt carbon film resistors may nearly be the same physical size as 1/4-watt carbon film resistors However, side-by-side comparison will identify the larger wattage resistor as having the slightly longer body length. ee Thank you, composition —aiD— film ee oO Sen HEATH COMPANY GENERAL 591-2361COLOUR CODE FOR FIXED RESISTORS ~-(8.S.1852-1952) COLOUR BAND MARKING FIG I,/CoLouRED BAND 4 ) A GRADE |.

It will do justice to the finest possible programme sources puch te gramophone records, radio tuners or complete tape recorders. When assembled in accordance with the fostructions provided in this manual, the amplifier will give many years of trouble free Hatening “Amongthe many facilities provided, are a four-position press button switch which gives instant selection of the de- diredprogrammesource. The ewitch positions not in useare automatically ‘earthed! to prevent cross talk or break- through from other signal sources that may be connected. ass, Treble, Filter and Volume controls are ganged and accurately matched. ‘The Bass and Treble controls use the well-known Baxandall negative feedback circuit, The low pass filter is continuously variable betweea 4 and 20 Kolo with « lope tending to 16 dB'a per octave; this will be found extremely useful for attenuating the higher fre Gacnetes when high background holse or distortion is present on recordings oF radio transmissions.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION Lowlevel signals are fed into the first valve, @ low-noise pentode type EF86 (V1 or V6) equalising and gain adjust~ tuont being effected by a feed-back loop. High level signals are taken to the second stage, one-half of an ECC83 Gouble-trisde (V2a or V7a), This stage is stabilised by a feed-back loop and is followed by the varisble low pas filter and avother triode (} ECG83, V2b or V7b). A graph showing the characteristics of this filter is shown on Page 5. A Baxandall tone control network comes nex! and this ig followed by the volume and balance controls. The latter control ‘fades! either channel to OFF when in the extreme positions. ‘The remaining valves are ECL86 triode pentode valves (V4 and V5) and (V8 and V9) which function as driver and phasecoplitter as well a9 push-pull output stages, The altra-linear arrangement is used and heavy feed-back ‘e Zpplied to the cathode Of the driver triode (V4a or V8a). ‘The output transformers are special sectionalised types with high primary inductance (over 190 henries at 50 cycles) and low leakage reactance thus ensuring that power Satput is maintained at each end of the audio spectrum ~ and beyond (see Graph 5 ov Page 5). 1 must be rememberedthat a frequency response extending to at least 10 tim for good transient reaponse and to give an adequate margin of stability. the upper audible limit ie necessary Aneavy duty power supply is incorporated consisting of a screened mains transformer, GZ34 full wave rectifier and a high capacity Glter network, ‘This low impedance source contributes in no small way to the excellent overload characteristics of the amplifier.

In so doing, you will become acquainted with the parts, You will find it helpful to refer to the component identification sheet and Also to the general detaile printed on the inide covers of the manual. If a shortage is found, attach the inspection Slip to your claim and notily wa promptly. Lay out all the parte a0 that they are readily available in convenient categories, Refer to the general information ineide the covers of thia manual for instructions on how to identify components. Moulded ogg containers make handy trays for holding small parts. Resistors and capacitors may be placed in the edge of a corrugated cardboard box until they are needed. Unless otherwise stated, use lockwashers under all nute, and algo between controls and the chassis, When shake- proof solder tags are mounted under nute, the use of lockwashers is unnecessary. Resistors and capacitors have a tolerance rating of £10% unless otherwise stated. Therefore a 100 KA resistor may test anywhere between 90 and 110KQ, Frequently capacitors show an even greater variation such as -50% to +100%. This Heathkit accommodates such variations, Unless otherwise stated all wire used is ineulated, Bare wire is only used where lead lengths are short and there is no possibility of a short circuit. Wherever there is a possibility of the bare wire leads of resistors or capacitors , eter, shorting to other parte or to chassis, such leads must be covered with insulated sleeving, ‘To facilitate describing the location of parts, all valveholders, controls, tagstrips, etc., have been Lettered or numb = ered. Where necessary all such coding ie clearly shown in the illustrations, When instructions say, for example, Nyire to socket G3", refer to the proper figure and connect a wire to tag 3 of socket G. Valveholders illustrated in the manual are always shown with their tags numbered in a clockwise sequence, from the blank tag position or keyway, when viewed from underneath, All resistors may be wired either way round. ‘All capacitors, excepting electrolytic capacitors, may be wired either way round unless otherwise stated. Carefully letter and number tags ps, valveholders, transformer: ete, A wax pencil is ideal for this purpose. When mounting resistors and capacitors make sure that the value can be read when in position. Observe polarity on all electrolytic capacitors, i.e, RED = POSITIVE = +. ‘A circuit description is included in this manual go that those with some knowledge of electronics will be able to ob- tain a clearer picture of the actual functioning of thia instrument. It 1s not expected that those with little experience will understand the description completely, but it should be of help in the event that they desire to become more familiar with the circuit operation and thus leara more from building the kit than just the placing of parts and the wiring, Read this manual right through before starting actual construction, In this way, you will become familiar with the general tlep-by-atep procedure used, Study the pictoriale and diagrams to get acquainted with the circuit layout and Tocation of parts, When actually assembling and wiring, READ THROUGH THE WHOLE OF EACH STEP so that no point will be missed: ‘Atick (/) shoud be made in the apsce provided at the beginning of each insiruction immadinialy it has been com: Sraise: “Saisie taoat impovtant av Troll Groid seslons oF efPore, capecialy whenaver work Is nferrupted in he Bras of constcuction Some Kit-bullders have found it helped in addition to mark tach Lead inthe pictorial in col~ Slourea pencil as it ie completed Successful instrument construction requires close observance of the step-by-step procedure outlined in this manual.

WHEN IN DOUBT ABOUT SOLDER, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT ONLY "60/40" RESIN CORE RADIO SOLDER BE PURCHASED. PROPER SOLDERING PROCEDURE Only @ small percentage of Heathkit purchasers find it necessary to return an instrament for factory service, Of these, by far the largest proportion function improperly due to poor or improper soldering. Correct soldering technique is extremely important. Good soldered joints are essential if the performance engin~ cered into the kitis tobe fully realised, If you are a beginner with no experience in goldering, half an hour's pract~ ice with odd lengths of wire and a valveholder, etc., will be invaluable. Highest quality resin-cored solder is essential for efficiently securing thie kit's wiring and components. The resin core acts a# a flux o cleaning agent during the soldering operation. NO SEPARATE FLUX OR PASTE OF ANY KIND SHOULD BE USED, We specifically caution against the use of a0- called "non-corrosive" pastes or liquide. Such compounds, although not corrorive at room temperature, will form residues when heated. These residues are deposited on surrounding surfaces and attract moisture, The resulting compound# axe not only corrosive but actually destroy the insulation value of non-conductors. Dust and dirt will tend to accumulate on these "bridges" and eventually will cause erratic or degraded performance of the instrument, IMPORTANT IN THE " ered, for other wires will be added, Ata later atage the letter fered. Note that a number appears after each solder (S) inst: fed to the terminal in question, For example, if the instructions read, "Connect one lead of a 47 Kal resistor ST (G-2)"- i wil be understood that there should be two leads connected to the terminal at the time it ia told ered, This additional check will help to avois errors. STEP-BY-STEP" PROCEDURE the abbreviation "NS" indicates that the connection should not yet be #old~ 'S" indicates that the connection must now be sold~ tion, ‘This number indicates the mumber of leads SPECIAL NOTE; Where a wire is passed through a tag to other parte of the circuit, thie will be regarded ae two connections (5-2). When two or more connection are made to the same solder tag a common mistake is to neglect to solder the con- nections on the bottom. Make sure all the wires are soldered. cLoucester Panesar) ENGLANO10 If the tags are bright and clean and wires free of wax, frayed insulation and other foreign substances, no difficulty will be experienced ia soldering. Crimp or otherwise secure the wire (or wires) to the terminal, so a goodmechan- {eal joint is made without relying on solder for physical strength. ‘Typical good and bad ealdered joints are shown above. ‘A poor soldered joint will ueually be indicated by {te appearance. The solder will stand up in a blob on top of the Connection, with no evidence of flowing out caused by actual "wetting" of the contact. A cryatalline or grainy texture on the solder surface caused by movement of the joint before it solidifies is another evidence of a "cold" connection ind possible "dry" joint. In either event, reheat the joint until the solder flows smoothly over the entire junction , Cooling to a amooth, bright appearance. ‘To make a good soldered jotnt, the clean tip of thehot goldering iron should be placed against the joint to be soldered fo that the flat tag is heated sufficiently to melt the eolder. Resincore solder is then placed against both the tag and the tip of the iron and ahould immediately flow over the joint, See illustrations. Use only enough solder to cover the wires at the junction; it 1s not hecessary to fill the entive hole in the tag with solder. Do not allow excess solder_to How into valveholder contacts, ruining the sockets, or to creep into switch sockets aid deatroy their spring action. Position the work so that gravily tends to Keep the solder where you want it, ‘clean, well-tinned soldering iron is also important to obtain consistently perfect connections. For most wiringy 2.25 to $0 watt iron, or the equivalent in a soldering gun, is very satisfactory. Keep the iron hot and its tip and the Connections to be soldered bright and clean, Always place the solder on the heated "work" and then place the bit on fop of the solder until it flows readily and "wets" the joint being made, Do not take the solder on to the bit andthen tay to bring it to the work directly {rom the soldering {ron. Whenever possible a joint shotilé be secured mechanic~ lly by squeezing Light with pliers prior to eoldering it. The hot soldering bit should frequently be scraped clean With a knife, steel wool or a file, or wiped clean quickly by means ofa rag oF steel wool. Do not apply too much #older to the soldered joint, Do not apply the solder to theiron only, expecting that it will roll Gown onto the connection, Try to follow the instructions and illustrations as closely ae posible. Do not bend a lead more than once around a connecting point before soldering, so that if it should have to come off ‘ue to @ mistake or for maintenance it will be much easier to remove. Follow these instructions and use reasonable care during assembly of the kit, This will ensure the deserved satis. faction of having the instrument operate perfectly the first time it is switched on. cLoucesteR Saree) ENGLANDBEND LEAD ELOSE TO aa BoDY PROPER MOUNTING rN SOLDER ON oe } et TD sates oy proven soroee——] TN » SORE She conneerion / ttt SPREAD LEADS OF EACH COMPO? > aan eeroa Ts u rateches SS FO KEEP THEM FROM FALLING.

Proper and im= proper methods of mounting are illostrated in the accompanying Figures. Tubular capacitors and resistors will fit properly if the leads are bent, as shown, Disc capacitors will generally ‘fi Japlace withno lead preparation other than determining that the leads ave atraight. Componente with tage nozm= ally require no preparation unloss the tags appear to be bent, in which case they can be straightened with a pair of pliers. Parts should be inserted as inetructed, and the leads bent outward slightly, ae illustrated, to lock them in place, Components will be soldered in groups: after a group of components have been installed, instructions will be given to solder them. When the components have been soldered, diagonal cuttera may be used to cut off the excess leade close to the board. ‘The actual technique of soldering leads to a cireuit board is quite simple. Position the tip of the goldering iron 90 that it firmly contacts boththe ci rcult hoard foil and the wire or tag to be soldered, as thown, Then the solder ehowld immediately be placed between the iron and the joint to be soldered, Remove the solder as soon ae it begina to melt land flow on to the lead and foil. Hold the tip of the iron in place only until the solder begins to flow outward over the il. Then remove the iron quickly. Avoid overheating the connection. A soldering pencil or small iron (approximately 30 watts) is ideal for uae in ciz~ cait board work. If a higher wattage iron or soldering gun must be used, precautions must be taken to avoid circuit board damage due to overheating ‘The use of excessive amounts of solder will increase the possibility of bridging between foil conductors or plugging holes which are to be left open for wires which may be added later on, If solder ie accidentally bridged across in= sulating areas between conductors, it can be cleaned off by heating the connection carefully and quickly wiping the solder away witha soft cloth. Holes which become plugged can be cleared by heating the area immediately over the hole while gently pushing the lead of resistor through the hole from the opposite aide, and withdrawing the lead be~ fore the solder rehardens. Do not force the wire through: too much pressure before the solder has time to soften may separate the foil {rom the board, In cases where foil does become damaged, repaire can usually be made with ttle difficulty. A break in the foil can be rejoined with a small piece of bare wire soldered across the gap, or be~ tween the foil and the lead of a component. cLoucesres —______ perpyepresy, ew cance‘| -WItOLdldSTEP-BY-STEP ASSEMBLY FRONT PANEL ASSEMBLY SEE PICTORIAL 1 (.)

A Hf you ave still {n difticulty, refer to the section SERVICE INFORMATION, STEREOPHONIC SOUND However good a single chahoel sound system may be, it fs inevitable that the reproduction will lack depth and per- spective. Inother words, the sound atill emerges from one #ource, in effect, @ small hole, It ie true that a greater spatial latribution can be secured by means of reflectora or by using two apaced speaker ystems, bit the repro- duction wil sill be winatural, i cannot possibly convey the exciting sense of movement, the fecling of life and colour fof the concert hall, stage of theatre, With two channel or stereophovic sound, the soloist will appear to take up a position in front of the orchestra which aeema fo fill the entire room apace in frost of you, strings on the left and brane on the right, just as they are in the concert hall, How this {e accomplished is readily seen by a glance af the two diagrams (sce Figures 18(a) and 18(b)). Localisation of the sound source is effected by intensity, time and phase difference according to frequency, and it is generally agreed that the lower frequencies give very little directional information, Stereophonic sound le not by any means a new invention. As far back as 1931, Blumlein of E,M. I. patented a aye tem for the simultaneous recording of two separate sound tracks on a single disc. At that time, of course, it in~ volved the ute of atecl needles and 78 r.p.m. records, which imposed severe limltations on the quality of repro- Guction possible, consequently the idea wae not applied commercially, However, the tremendous improvement in recording techniques, culminating in the introduction of the microgroove record by Columbia of America in 1948, coupled with the development of all the high fidelity equipment - amplifiers, speakers and light-weight pick-ups - changed the picture considerably. Cookin America had evolveda stereo disc with two separate tracks (which of course had the disadvantage of halving the playing time) but the real impetua for the development of stereo diacs came in 1955, when E. MI. introduced stereo tapes and in 1957 both Pye and Decca released stereo records, Arthur Haddy, the Decca Chief Recording Engineer, had in fact been working for 5 years on this problem. cuoucesren tarp wc ane0 The original system used a carrier method, however, this was abandoned and a ‘hill-and-dale! lateral method was adopted, The present aystem, agreed as an international standard, is basically the same but the groove is in effect rotated 45 degrees, see Figures 16(a) and 16(b). 1 is a fallacy to suppose that inferior reproducing equipment will give good stereo results, the stringent require mente necessary for high-fidelity sound always apply. In particular, the loudspeaker systems should be the best the user can possibly atford, Always remember that the finest amplifier in the world will sound indifferent if used with an inferior speaker, Groat care must be taken when choosing suitable speaker aystems and, when making listening tests, be sure to choose a wide variety of programme material, Remember that an inferior speaker with a 'peaky' treble response may appear to give very brilliant reproduction of bras instruments but will give poor specch quality and add a \witinesa to string tone. Again, under some circumstances a speaker with pronounced cabinet resonances may ap- pear to have fuller bass response than a system having a clean natural bass. The function of a loudspeaker is to Feproduce exactly what is put into it without colouring the sound with tonal characteristics of ite owe, tp general, highly directional systems should not be used as although they are capable of giving excellent stereo re~ sults, the offective listening area is very restricted. (Sec Figure 17.) Loudspeakers should be placed from 8 to 12 feet apart and facing inwards as mach as possible, In general, the best results are olftained with the ‘focal point! of the two speakers in (ront of the listening area, The optimum listening position will be at a point equidistant from the two apeakers, bat the size of the listening area will depend on their sound distribution or polar diagram and the roomacoustice. ‘The Heathkit 'Cotswold' speaker systems are specially recommended for those who want the highest possible fidelity.
