These two new one -piece swedged-steelcase mics were designed to be abused by
the roughest, rockingest performance conditions. Without breaking apart, without
losing a dB of sensitivity or a Hz of
response. There isn't a mic on the market
that can beat them in so many ways.
Look what you get ...
The swedged all -steel cases have unsurpassed ruggedness. No plastic parts to
break. Nothing will dent! The non reflective satin nickel finish prevents
on- camera glare, while the smooth -flow
styling snugs into the hand na:urally,
eliminates distractions. Fully shock mounted, magnetically shielded unitized
cartridge elements that are field replaceable. Built -in wind -pop filters. Every mic
comes with a snap -on swivel adapter for
cradle mounting, and a cable set.
The Model 1656 offers a cardioid polar
pattern with 20 dB front -to -back discrimination. As well as the convenience
of a lockable On-Off switch. The Model
1655 provides an omnidirectional polar
pattern for uniform natural pickup from
all directions. Output impedance of
200 ohms balanced integrates with
conventional accessories.
University gives you more ...
mics that can't be battered.

Silent radio
"Radio for the deaf" is experimentally being programmed on New York City's
municipally -owned WNYC -FM.
But don't try to tune it in -you
won't hear anything. The system, developed by Fax Net,
Inc., uses an FM subcarrier to
transmit printed and pictorial
material to facsimile printers,
that are expected to cost
about $150 each. The service
will provide news and other
information of interest to the
deaf. One potential use, if the
service should be instituted
on a regular basis, would be
transmission of outlines or
scripts of upcoming television
shows.
Better TV sound?
The buzzing, humming
and scratching that often
passes for sound on television is going to undergo
scrutiny from a major all -industry engineering committee.
Acting on a proposal by Hartford Gunn, president of the
Public Broadcasting Service,
the study will be undertaken
by the Joint Council on Intergroup Cooperation, an engineering liaison organization
comprising representatives of
the Electronic Industries Association, National Association of Broadcasters, Institute
of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers, National Community Television Association
and Society of Motion Picture
and Television Engineers.
The study will examine the
entire television sound problem from camera to receiver,
with special panels devoted
to studio procedures and
origination equipment, networking, transmission and reception. The group will look
into such questions as the
desirability of stereo sound or
dual sound channels on television, determine how sound

year will be all- solid -state (except for the picture tube). But
solid -state color sets still sell
at a premium of at least $50
over comparable hybrid sets.
When will the crossover point
come-that date when a solid state set will be as inexpensive to build and market
as a hybrid type? Semiconductor manufacturers say it
will be here in less than two
years, about the start of 1975.
Receiver makers say it could
come then, but they have reservations.
With the increased production of transistors and IC's
for TV sockets, it's true that
the crossover point in actual
production costs could easily
occur within the next two
years. But set makers are

Calculator boom
Possibly no electronic
product -not even television
has taken off on the consumer marketplace, or come
down in price, as quickly, as
the pocket calculator. Thanks
to the development of the
low -cost LSI chip, it's expected that about 3,000,000
relatively cheap pocket and
desktop units will be sold this
year. The figure would go
higher, except for a shortage
of IC's and display devices.
Throughout 1972, prices of

International TV
Sony, Hitachi and Panasonic are Japanese television sets. Right'? RCA, Zenith
and Magnavox are American.
Right? Not necessarily. If you
buy a Sony, Hitachi or Panasonic color set today, it may
well have been made -or at
least assembled -in the good
old U.S.A. The Zenith or RCA
monochrome set you buy
could be from Taiwan, the
Magnavox from Mexico. Or
your Admiral color set could
be Taiwanese. The growing
internationalization of consumer electronics is blurring
world borders. The latest
manifestation, since Japan's
currency realignment, is the
establishment of assembly
plants in the United States by
Japanese
manufacturers.

sible by the development of new wide band amplifiers by Siemens, who supplied all the line equipment for the
system. They amplify smoothly over a
bandwidth of 60 MHz, thus being able to
cope with future telephone, data and
also videotelephone traffic.
As compared with the 2700 -channel
amplifiers, the new units require completely new construction methods. Corn ponents had to be arranged very compactly to avoid phase shifts. The problem
was met by using hybrid circuitry, combining thin -film conductors, resistors and
some capacitors with conventional transistors and coils.
The amplifiers are placed a mile
apart along the route to regenerate the
signals. They are installed underground
and supplied with power via the inner
conductors of the coax.
The Swedish telephone administration expects shortly to extend the system
from Orebro to Gothenburg (Gteborg)
on the North Sea coast, a distance more
than four times as great as that between
Orebro and Vsters. Further 60 -MHz
routes to the north are planned for the
near future.

ABOUT CLOCK READOUTS
read the article on page 35 of your
February issue covering the Mostek Digital Clock on a chip with great interest.
MOS /LSI chips are going to revolutionize consumer products. We have already
seen this happen in electronic calculators. Clocks are a logical next step.
Sperry Information Displays is the
leading supplier of electronic displays for
digital clocks using MOS /LSI chips. The
photograph in the article showed the
Heathkit digital clock that uses the
Mostek chip and Sperry advanced design planar gas discharge displays. understand that this is one of the most successful kits ever offered by Heath. Heath
also uses Sperry displays in their popular IC -2008 calculator kit.
was somewhat disappointed that
the article recommended the use of
fluorescent display tubes and not the
more popular Sperry displays. The
choice of fluorescent display tubes for a
consumer product such as a clock is a
poor one since these tubes have a limited life and start to deteriorate after a
year. Sperry planar gas discharge displays have a life of greater than ten
years and have a much better aesthetic
appearance.
Appearance, life, reliability and low
cost are the major reasons for the wide
acceptance of Sperry displays in consumer products such as clocks.

FATAL FLAW?
This is in response to your article,
"Setting Back The Clock," which appeared in the "Looking Ahead" section
of Radio -Electronics in October 1972.
We feel your use of the term "Fatal
Flaw" was definitely misleading and gave
the impression that the NBS TvTime System is not feasible. This could not be
further from the truth. The NBS system
was designed to provide the correct time
to all users, regardless of locality. The
NBS has thoroughly tested the TvTime
System and the "fatal flaw" does not
exist.
The facts are these:
(1) The networks would transmit
NBS -controlled precise time signals in
Greenwich Mean Time (which is correct
in all time zones) to their affiliates.
(2) If the network signals are not
videotaped or otherwise delayed by the
affiliate, they can be rebroadcast locally.
However, the home TV receiver /decoder
would not be able to pick up these network-originated signals; only users with
precise time decoders could receive
them.
(3) If the local affiliate does tape the
network program for later replay, the
network time is automatically deleted.
(4) The local station has the option
of generating local time zone hours, minutes, and seconds signals by using his
own equipment and making periodic
checks against a network signal (even
from another network if necessary) to
keep the local clock on time. The NAB
report is correct in stating that any local
time signals must originate at the local
station.
A home TV receiver, equipped with
a decoder, will automatically decode and
display the correct local time when it is
available. It ignores network time signals.
It will also display program captions in
the same way. The system differentiates
between precise time, local time, and
captions because each type of message
has its own signature which the home
receiver -decoder interprets; i.e., the captions do not get mixed up with the time,
and precise network time is not decoded.

Here at last is the development that once and for all will lay to rest the dispute over
discrete vs. encoded recordings. The Sansui vario matrix -a technological extension of the QS Regular Matrix -provides unbelievable front -to -back separation, to a
degree never before possible with matrix recordings- separation so great that engineers have hailed it as the "discrete matrix."
Two new units in the Sansui four -channel lineup -the QRX -6500 ($699.95) and
the QRX -4500 ($599.95) contains this outstanding new decoder. These full -featured
four-channel receivers have high power output (280 watts and 240 watts IHF),
superb FM sensitivity, and are loaded with special features to make quadraphonic
listening a totally trouble -free and fulfilling experience.
The new decoder includes a position for Phase Matrix recordings, and both
"Hall" and "Surround" positions for the QS Regular Matrix and for the synthesizer
section, for accurate decoding of any current matrix as well as creating enhanced
4- channel sound from two -channel recordings.
Other special features include a sound -field rotation switch, linear balance
controls for front /rear and for left /right, and the capability to drive up to 10 speakers
-all front -panel switch -selected.
Treat your ears to a demonstration today at your nearest Sansui dealer. Your
listening will never be the same again.

Construction techniques
The foil pattern for the two -sided
printed circuit board is shown in Fig.
2. We did not use plated through
holes. As a result, you must remember
that the top and bottom foil patterns
are independent and both sides must
be soldered where there is circuit foil
radiating from a terminal on both
sides.
Before installing the display connector bend back pins 7 and 8 so they
are not soldered to the board. These
are the Al and F1 display segments
which are not used in the clock. The
pin positions on the foil are reserved
for signal routing. After the clock is
operational and you are sure you have
selected the right two pins, cut them
off close to the connector.
Fig. 3 shows the correct positioning of the IC's, the jumpers on the
bottom side of the board, the location
of the discrete resistors. capacitors and

IC7 is a prescaler to reduce flickering of the units digit. It is a D flip flop wired to toggle as a divide by
two. Other flip-flops could also be
used. Q9 provides the necessary negative reset pulse.
The output from pin 5 of IC7
drives the clock input (pin 14) of the
units decade, ICI. The carry from ICI
(pin 11) drives the clock input on IC2.
IC8 is an integrated voltage regulator that provides +5v from the
12 -15 volts auto supply. It features
protective current limiting at
amp.
D5 protects the regulator in case the
input voltage polarity is inadvertently
reversed when testing or calibrating.
When the ignition key is on, 12
volts is applied through R12 to saturate Q7. This applies the full 5 volts
to the displays and they run at maximum intensity. When the headlights
are turned on, power is applied
through R13 to turn on Q8. This pulls
the base of Q7 down by about 2 volts,
and since Q7 is an emitter follower it
also reduces the voltage to the displays by 2 volts. Thus turning on the
headlights dims the display for night
driving.

The solid -state horizontal output and high- voltage
WHEN SERVICING
VACUUM TUBE TV
How it works
The horizontal output transistor
frequently operates like a switch. It is
fed a 20 -volt peak -to -peak square
wave by the driver. An impedance matching transformer couples the
square wave into the base of the output transistor. Because of the stepdown windings, the wave enters the
base at about 5 volts peak -to -peak.
The pnp germanium horizontal
output transistor has a very low emit ter-to- collector resistance when it is
saturated.
The most negative portion of the
square wave on the base drives the
transistor into saturation. This happens
because of the dc voltage setup. Both
the base and emitter are fed 12 volts
dc. The collector is grounded. As the
negative portion of the square wave
arrives at the base, it drops the base
voltage about 5 volts to about 7 volts
and the transistor saturates. Since the

the damper and at the same time forward biases the boost rectifier. Current
flows from the boost powered circuits,
through a two -stage smoothing filter
supplying up to several hundred volts
to circuits that require it. The boost
circuit must be considered during
troubleshooting. A defect in this circuit can kill the horizontal output.

Unlike its vacuum -tube counterpart, the solid -state horizontal output
amplifier will not burn up when it
loses its input signal. The transistor
has the same voltage on emitter and
base. Without drive it simply does not
conduct. (In the same no- signal situation the horizontal output tube conducts wide open without drive, rapidly
destroying itself.)
As a result, the output stage can
be operated safely most of the time.
This allows the simpler voltage and
scope tests to replace the signal injection techniques used for vacuum
tube sets.
The most common symptoms of
output trouble are no raster or no
high voltage. Sound, of course, is OK.
The first step is to isolate the
trouble to the output stage. This is
done by eliminating the afc, oscillator
and driver as suspects. The first step is
to scope the emitter of the output
stage. If the pulse is there, the output
stage is good and the trouble is in the
rectifier, focus, regulator etc.
When the pulse is missing, the
preceding stages including the output
stage are suspect. Scope the collector
of the driver stage. If the square wave
is missing, the trouble is in the driver,
oscillator or afc. When the square
wave is present, the horizontal output
stage is at fault.
When the output stage becomes
the prime suspect, disconnect the anode of the boost rectifier. Then scope
the emitter again. If the pulse is now
present the boost B-plus is at fault.
Test the rectifier and the other three
components. One of them has shorted,

HOW ENERGIZING CURRENT FOR HORIZONTAL YOKE COILS IS FORMED. The horizontal output transistor acts as a switch opened and closed by a squarewave signal applied to Its base.
During retrace a very large voltage pulse develops at the emitter. This
70 kHz pulse is rectified and relieved
of its negative rings. The positive rings
remain and have a peak signal amplitude of a few hundred volts.
In the damper diode leg, there is
a winding of the flyback transformer.
The winding steps up the few hundred
volts to the required picture tube anode voltage, near 25 kV. The high
voltage is then rectified by the high voltage rectifier and sent on to the
picture -tube anode.

the output goes negative again, turning on the transistor and the cycle repeats itself.
To sum up, the electron beam begins its scan at the center of the
screen. It is drawn from center to right
side by the sawtooth developed by the
saturating transistor. It retraces from
right side back to left side as the transistor turns off. Then the beam is

and neu- channel MOS devices. Although a static unit, a single TTL
level clock phase is required to drive
the on -board multi -port clock generator. Data refresh is accomplished
during CB and LH* periods. Quadristate outputs (when applicable) allow

common ground terminal. The encoder generates all the codes shown in
Table I. This includes all the capital
letters, all the often used punctuation,
all numerals, and all of the transparent or control functions. Often
used control functions such as DELETE,
SPACE, LINE FEED, ESCAPE (ALT MODE),
CARRIAGE RETURN, etc. are brought
out to separate keys. The output is
RTL, TTL, DTL and MOS compatible, and a single 10 -volt, 25 -mA
power source is needed. If an ASCII
code is not desirable, the same encoder may be used, through suitable
rewiring, to generate EBDIC, SELECTRIC,
BAUDOT or MORSE codes. Parity and
the 100 -wpm (words-per- minute) serial
converter are easily added to the basic
encoder.

The complete code appears in
Table II. It is arranged in a matrix
form to make it compact and easy to
read. For instance, the transparent
command "Carriage Return ", or "CR"
has a code of 000-1101, starting with
bit 7 on the left and going to bit
(the least significant) on the right. A
numeric "6" has the code 011 -0110.
Note the right half of this code is the
same as a binary or a binary- codeddecimal six. A capital L has the code

have no input; STOP quickly and check for circuit oscillation. With luck such a condition may blow the fuses, but it
can also fry the outputs so don't allow such a condition to
continue if it is found. The Tiger .01 should be quite stable
if built and wired as shown, but any amplifier with this
kind of gain, feedback and bandwidth can cause you lots
of ulcers and heartburn if wire routing and grounding are
not properly done.

Well, "leave us analyze" for a bit.
For one thing, let's see what is working! Your demodulators are OK, since

CLEAN UP THE CLEANER

SERVICE EDITOR
completely.
The cure is a thorough cleanup.
The easiest way is to take the thing to
the nearest filling- station and blow the
dirt out with their high -pressure airhose. Of course, if you have another
cleaner, or a Shop -Vac, you can use it
to clean this one up. A dry paintbrush is a good tool to get the dust
out. If some of it has solidified, it can
be very carefully dug out with a stick
or small screwdriver. Be very careful
not to gouge the motor windings,
leads, etc. since these are exposed.
Most of the tank or canister -type
cleaners have the motor mounted on a
sheet -metal plate in the housing. If the
motor isn't accessible when you open
the case to change bags, you can get it
out by taking out three or four small
screws around the edge of the mounting plate. These are usually visible. If
they're not, and the cleaner has a
thick soft rubber gasket around the
lip, lift the edge of this gasket and
look under it; the mounting screws
may be hidden under there.
'The older models needed oiling
at infrequent intervals. Most of the
newer ones have permanently- sealed
bearings. Check the instruction book
to make sure. Of course, if you can
see a tiny hole in each end -bell of the
motor, marked "Oil," that should tell
you! About two drops of oil every six
months is plenty. Don't over -oil; excess oil around the motor and fan will
pick up dust and cake it everywhere.

should not be overlooked. Just because they are "simple things" they
bear repeating. But the moment of
truth that separates the troubleshooters
from the tube jockeys is here. The
equipment is plugged in, the fuse is
OK and the power supply is putting
out the proper voltages. The gear is
still broken. You have to find the bad
stage, isolate the defective component
and replace it.
Our first example (which will appear next month) is an AM -FM stereophonic receiver in block diagram
lrm. We will describe. analyze and
apply what is possibly the most efficient method that exists for logically
localizing a defective stage in any
piece of equipment, no matter how
complex. It is called "cut -it -in -half"
and we will apply it to quickly pinR -E
point a host of troubles.

ABC'S OF LASERS & MASERS, by Allan Lytel and Lawrence Buck master. Howard W. Sams & Co., Inc., 4300 W. 62nd St., Indianapolis,
Ind. 46268. 128 pp. 51/2" x 81/2". Softcover, $3.50; in Canada, $4.40.
This book introduces the reader to two devices that play a vital role
in science-the laser which produces light radiation and the maser
which produces microwaves. Quantum theory is used to explain the
emission of coherent light and a number of emitting materials are discussed, from ruby crystals, through certain gases, to solid -state materials. Modulators, detectors, laser frequencies, power supplies, power
output and communications are studied as is the history and development of the laser and maser and many of their present-day applications.
MODERN SOUND REPRODUCTION, by Harry F. Olson. Van Nostrand
Reinhold Co.,.450 West 33 St., New York, N.Y. 10001. 328 pp. 6" x 9 ".
Hardcover, $17.50.
This book describes elements, systems, accessories, methods and
applications that help achieve high levels of excellence and performance in sound reproductions. It highlights such aspects as effects of
electrical and acoustical noise, theory, action and performance of transistor and integrated circuit audio amplifiers, and electronic modifications used to heighten the emotional impact and artistic embellishment of recorded sound. The text covers monaural, monophonic,
binaural, stereophonic and quadraphonic sound reproducing systems,
and includes a study of room design in relation to sound reproduction.
It also explains the characteristics of the human ear relating to sound
reproduction systems.
BASIC ELECTRONICS COURSE, by Norman H. Crowhurst. TAB Books,
Blue Ridge Summit, Pa. 17214. 368 pp. 5V" x 81/2". Hardcover, $8.95;
Softcover, $5.95. Illustrated.
This is a self -study text for the novice, hobbyist, student; a reference and "brushup" on the basics of electronics; a guide for technicians and others who want to advance their knowledge of electronics.
In a clear, easy -to- understand manner subjects covered range from
electricity and magnetism to semiconductors and microelectronics. The
basic roots of electricity are discussed, covering early discoveries that
led to the present theories of current and voltage, continuing to the
properties of resistance. Ohm's laws, Kirchoff's laws and power calculations. Study questions are included at the end of each chapter.

should be set by very small adjustments until you have zeroed in.
To set the time, the SECONDS RESET switch is first toggled to RESET and
returned to NORMAL exactly on the
minute. The minutes counter is then
set by advancing rapidly with the SET
MINUTES switch. Finally the hour is set
with the SET HOURS switch. The minutes and hours switches should be set
back to normal as soon as the desired
display is reached since the display
delay time may cause you to overrun
the correct setting.
When the battery or the ac supply
is first connected to the clock, the display segment may be activated erratically. Initially the counters may set up
in unused states causing this improper
display. Don't worry about it. When
the clock is set to the correct time it
will quickly step out of these unused
states.

A quick and low-cost repair for most solid -state portable radios and record players is to substitute a speaker
that fits the existing opening and mounting screws. Then
solder in enough series resistance to equal the approximate
impedance of the original speaker. Be sure to use high wattage resistors-2 watts at least.
(This repair will not work with walkie talkies or intercoms that use high- impedance speakers that double as mi-
crophones.)
Using this method there is little noticeable loss in
speaker volume and the lighter -weight voice coil seems to
improve the frequency response somewhat.
For a permanent repair on a stereo system replace
both speakers even if only one is defective. It keeps quality.

Dear Customers,
www.americanradiohistory.com
porarily stop raking orders for our pocket calculator and delayed the filling and shipping of purchase orders. The over
whelming demand for these calculators rapidly ate up our
off- the -shelf inventory. Now i.e are experiencing a lot of
difficulty in procuring the LSI chip from the vendor, and
this slow and dwindling delivery has all but halted production on the calculator.
Although we are unable to fill orders or deliver at this time,
she plan to be able to again enjoy your patronage in early
April. N are making every effort to resume Production,
replenish our stock and accept orders for our pocket calculator at the earliest possible date, as soon as parts become
available to us. In the meantime, we welcome any requesn
for information regarding the calculator, and thank you again for your continued interest.
Sincerely,
