INSTALLATION
01)
Place the power supply in its final location. It is quite heavy, and will become more so when
the amplifier is installed on top of it. Consider the location carefully, and use appropriate
help in lifting, etc., so as to avoid injury.
02)
Place one of the metal balls provided in each of the three cups on
the top of the power supply.
03)
Carefully place the amplifier chassis on top of the power supply,
taking care to align the balls on top of the power supply with the
cups on the bottom of the audio chassis.
004) Install the vacuum tubes.
Each tube or its box has
a “V” number, which
corresponds to the
labels on the top plate of
the amplifier; these
indicate where each
tube should be installed.
Fit each tube into the
matching socket.
When inserting and
removing tubes, handle
them by their bases, not
by their glass bulbs.
Note that there is a
locator pin on the octal
(eight contact) tubes that
i n d i c a t e s p r o p e r
