This Assembly Manual represents our many decades of ex- perience in developing electronic kits which bring you out standing performance at dollar-saving prices... and with maximum ease of construc ‘As you go through the pages of this brochure, note how carefully each stage of construction is explained—how each diagram is magnified so that you almost have the feeling a good instructor is working at your side! Knight-Kit's "do and check" method of kit-bullding insures accurate and simple assembly. Although your final product may represent a very complicated piece of electronic equipment, you will proceed with ease and assurance, step-by-step... and enjoy enormous satisfaction in your completed working unit. Every Knight-kit of your choice is available to you on the Allied Credit Fund Plan— + No Money Down +24 Months To Pay + Up To 50% Increased Buying Power Your Knight-Kit purchase is backed with our exclusive and iron-clad guarantee—you must be completely satisfied or your purchase price is refunded! It is always a pleasure to serve you. AA Arent A.D. Davis, President ui13W 9 HONOUHL OF wu Hy JayWsUedL dJnayewy MO-WY HeM-09 09-1 & CONSTRUCTION HINTS UNPACKING i If you are not familiar with electronic parts, we suggest that you check each part against the parts list in the rear of the manual If you are unable to identify some of the parts, find their pictures on the wiring illustrations or on the parts identification photo. As vou check off the parts, assort them so they are readily avai able. You may find it advantageous to sort the hardware (screw: nuts, lockwashers, ete.) into suitable containers. This step will acquaint you with the various parts and thus simplify building. HELPFUL CONSTRUCTION HINTS This book uses some symbols to the value of the parts. ohm, “K”" means one thousand ohms, “meg” means one million ohms, uf means microfarad, and uf means micromicrofarad. Capacitors ‘markings may be af or MF for mierofarad; puf or MME for micro: microfarad Several types of wire are supplied. It is important to use the wire called for in the building step. Insulated solid and stranded wire, identified by color, has been cut to length and prestripped for your convenience. Use only the color given in the step. The construction of this kit will require the use of a soldering iron, rated at about 100 watts, a pair of long-nose pliers, a pair of diagonal cutters, and a serewdriver, Follow the step-by-step instructions exactly. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO WIRE THIS KIT FROM THE PICTORIALS OR SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM ALONE because a definite wiring sequence must be followed. Occasionally, several parts are mounted. with the same hardware, so BE SURE TO READ THE ENTIRE STEP. Check off each step after you have completed it ‘The leads from electrical components must be held in place by good mechanical connections. A lead held in place by solder alone is a potential source of trouble, ‘To make @ good mechanical connection, simply insert the end of the lead through the hole in the terminal; wrap the lead around the ter- minal and eut off the excess wire. Clamp the connection with your long-nose pliers. Figure 1 illustrates a connection that has been properly made, Flexible tubing is used to cover bare wire or leads where there is a chance they may touch other bare wires or the chassis. BARE WIRES AND BARE LEADS NOT CONNECTED TO THE SAME TERMINAL MUST NOT ACCIDENTLY TOUCH EACH OTHER OR THE CHASSIS. HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR SOLDERING IRON Before you start to solder, carefully clean the tip of your soldering iron with a fine file, or with steel wool, unit] the bright metal surface Of the tip is exposed. Heat the iron; then cover (tin) the tip with thin layer of ROSIN CORE SOLDER, While the iron is hot, remove excess solder from the tip by wiping with a clean cloth. When the tip of the iron becomes covered with wipe the tip with a clean cloth, and re-tin the iron. dull, oxide film, To transfer the full heat of the iron, hold its greatest tip surface to the connection, Never use the iron like a brush—soldering is not a paste-spreading operation, °°" OG OL MOH S.343H tek TE [a lola ar S Toy T= eRoy el] o> eee PARTS MOUNTING—CHASSIS ou Lopes emtwuction Set thyfy-2200 Ls SEE FIGURES 2 AND 6 A @oree "grommets.
