When working on the A4 assy. the ONLY adjustments you should make are:

  • Cavity frequency, unscrew locking ring and while looking at the A7 J1
    signal or 2nd harmonic reading adjust for max and then lock down.

  • Attenuator, Unlock with allen, adjust for same, usually pulled all the
    way out. Remember to lock.

-S5 the one by the attenuator, only needed if tube swapped but if you
adjust make sure the peak does not slip when you tighten the locknut.

  • the top pot, adjust for the same.

  • If you adjust any of the other locknutted plungers you will NEVER get
    back to where you need to be!!!!

Cheers,
