Heathkit Sweep Generator TS-4
#1

Hi all, I am ready to align the FM part of my Philco 52-944. I have done countless alignments before but this will be my first time doing an FM alignment. So, I realize I need a sweep generator and dug around and came across this TV sweep generator my dad built sometime in the 50s. I see it does cover the FM band and looks like I can align the IF and discriminator with it I hope. It has a 4.5 MHz crystal probably for the old TV sound IF alignment. I want to try and find FT-243 type crystals in 10.7 MHz and 9.1 MHz frequency that my Philco needs. Right now, I’m going through this Heathkit checking resistors, so far so good, and I’ve already replaced electrolytics. I really hope this sweep generator works out for me, we will see!
