(27) RADIOLA 17 CONTINUITY TESTS
The following tests will show complete continuity for the Receiver Assembly (Figure 15) and
the Socket Power (Figure 16). Disconnect the antenna and ground leads, the cable connecting the S. P.
U. to the receiver assembly, and the A. C. supply cord at its outlet. Do not tamper with the main
tuning condensers.
A pair of headphones with at least 41/2 volts in series or a voltmeter with sufficient voltage to
give a full scale deflection when connected directly across the battery terminals should be used in
making this test.
