TROUBLESHOOTING INSTRUCTIONS
While we had hoped that it wouldn’t come to this, if you are having trouble
with your “Tattle-tale” Telephone Recorder, here are a few suggestions.
By far the most common source of problems is due to misplaced parts or
poor solder connections. It’s always best to take a break before searching for
bad connections. Around here it’s referred to as the “Irwin Time Test” which
states that “anything left alone long enough seems to repair itself !” This also
gives you a chance to clear your head. A good way of checking component
placement is to double check the assembly steps going backwards from the
last steps to the first. Bright lighting and a magnifying aid can be helpful in
identifying soldering problems.
Use a methodical, logical troubleshooting technique. Most problems can be
solved using common sense. A volt-ohm meter and a clear head are
