After correcting the original service problem, perform the following safety 

checks before releasing the set to the customer:

1.  Check the area of your repair for unsoldered or poorly soldered 

connections. Check the entire board surface for solder splashes 

and bridges.

2.  Check the interboard wiring to ensure that no wires are “pinched” 

or touching high-wattage resistors.

3.  Check that all control knobs, shields, covers, ground straps and 

mounting hardware have been replaced. Be absolutely certain 

that you have replaced all the insulators.

4.  Look for unauthorized replacement parts, particularly transistors, 

that were installed during a previous repair. Point them out to the 

customer and recommend their replacement.

5.  Look for parts which, though functioning, show obvious signs of 

deterioration. Point them out to the customer and recommend 

their replacement.

6.  Check the line cords for cracks and abrasion. Recommend the 

replacement of any such line cord to the customer.

7.  Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, “metallized” knobs, 

screws and all other exposed metal parts for AC leakage. Check 

leakage as described in “Leakage Test”.

The AC leakage from any exposed metal part to earth ground and from all 

exposed metal parts to any exposed metal part having a return to chassis, 

must not exceed 0.5 mA (500 microamperes). Leakage current can be 

measured by any one of three methods.

1.  A commercial leakage tester.  

Follow the manufacturers’ instructions provided with the tester.

2.  A battery-operated AC milliammeter. 

3.  Measuring the voltage drop across a resistor by means of a VOM 

or battery-operated AC voltmeter. The “limit” indication is 0.75 V, so 

analog meters must have an accurate low voltage scale. Nearly all 

battery-operated digital multimeters that have a 2 VAC range are 

suitable. (see Figure A)

Figure A. Use an AC voltmeter to check AC leakage.

The cover-plate retaining screw on most AC outlet boxes is at earth ground. 

Verify the AC outlet box retaining screw ground by connecting a 60W to 

100W incandescent (not a neon or fluorescent lamp) between the hot side of 

the receptacle and the retaining screw. Try both slots, if necessary, to locate 

the hot side on the line; the lamp should light at normal brilliance if the screw 

is at ground potential. (see Figure B)
