You mention above using a scope to verify the RF section, and I was wondering if you would be willing to post a walk-through on how it is done?
I recently installed a new RF module in my heavy sixer (three pin RF module) and would like to tune it to the 61.25 MHz shown in the 2600 Field Service Manual.
The way this repair came about was, I got tired of replacing these things because it takes a good bit to get them heated up and off, and, it's wasteful. Besides... we had these new hires always rotating through the shop,,,
so I'd get them to pull the RF section off the boards where they had tested bad and then had them disassemble them. It was just really good practice for them to learn proper soldering/desoldering technique, plus I could show them how to set up a scope to verify proper operation of the RF section after they had reinstalled them. The other added benefit to them was I made sure that they got recorded credit for that portion of the repair, and they learned how to fill out the NARDA paperwork so we could get reimbursed.
