[Howard R Stricklin]

Howard, I don't have an answer to your question. But if your chassis has a phono screw(s) on it. It's not a 40-180 chassis. Probably a 40-508 or 509. Does the chassis also have a huge power transformer?

there is only 1 screw and it sets in a hole and says phono /tv above that hole is another hole with narrow screw for tuning .
(i turned it while it was on and it tuned other stations on the low end of the dail) ...from some info i found here i think its for something like the rp-1 wireless record player . player ..

i have all the documentation for it form several sources and it covers all options except mine..it has no phono jack or phono screws ..(to actually hook up to)just what i think now must be for tuning .
the manual says if you have none of these options you need to have a qualified person to install it.


Well i just found this and i must say im confused ....


The Underwriters Laboratories will not permit us to include in our FM PILTOTUNER service booklet any instructions to the layman concerning the connection of the tuner to a radio receiver without phono or phono outlet, since this type of installation requires wiring directly into the circuit of the radio receiver. Therefore, we are sending you these instructions separately in this form for the use of your radio service technician.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

Attach center wire and outside shield wire of PILOTUNER connector cable to terminals #7 and #6 respectively of the PILOTUNER, following instructions in Par. III of service booklet.

Modify the radio receiver circuit as follows: (See diagram below)

Unsolder the wire attached to the ungrounded side of the volume control, and attach center wire of PILOTUNER connector cable to this spot. The outside shielded wire of the radio receiver. The disconnected lead from the volume control should be soldered to the center wire of a second connector cable, and through it connected to terminal #5 of the PILOTUNER. The shielded wire of this second cable should also be soldered to chassis. The radio receiver will then operate normally on standard broadcast (AM), whenever the ON-OFF switch of the FM PILOTUNER is in the OFF position.
