PAY TV DECODER PLANS: -------------------- Due to different scrambling systems, you might fid it neccesary to change the range and values of the variable capacitator. MATERIALS REQUIRED: ----------------- 1 Radio Shack mini project box (#270-235) 1 1/4 watt resistor, 2.2k 2.4k ohm (R #271-1325) 1 75pf - 100pf variable capacitor (Very hard to find!) 2 F61a chassis type coaxialconnectors (RS #278-212) 12" No. 12 solid copper wire 12" RS59 coaxial cable INSTRUCTIONS: ----------- 1> Dare a length of No. 12 gauge solid copper wire and twist around a 3/8" nail or rod to fom a coil of 9 turns. Elongate coil to a length of 1 1/2" and form right angle bends on each end. > Solder the variable capacitor to the coil. It doesn't matter where, it DIAGRAM: still does the sme job. The best place for it is in the center with the adjustment screw facing upard. Note: Whe it comes time to place coil in box, the coil must be insulated from grounding. This can be done byglueing a piece of rubber to the bottom of the box, and securing the coil to it. 3> Solder 2 piecs of copper wire at points 2 1/2 turns from ends of coil and solder to coaxial chassis connectors, binging leads through holes in chassis box. Use as little wire as possible. 4> Solder resistor tocenter of coil and ground other end to chassis box, using solder lug and small screw. 5> Drill 1/2" diameter hold in minibox cover to permit adjustment of the variable capacitor from the outside Inspect for mistakes and place cover on and tighten securely. 6> Place device in line with exising cable on either side of the converter box and connect tv set with the short piece of RS59 coaxia cable. Set tv set to HBE channel. 7> Using a PLASTIC screwdriver, adjust the variable capacitoruntil picture tunes in. ENJOY!!!!!
