Operational Notes

SWITCHING ON

The power switch is located on the lower left hand corner of the front panel. Push the top of the rocker switch (1) to turn on the amplifier and the bottom of the rocker to turn off the amplifier. The LED on the right side of the front panel will illuminate indicating that the amplifier is operating.

RUNNING

It is not recommended that you leave your amplifier permanently switched on. This only wastes electricity and tube life. Your amplifier has solid state rectification and reaches peak operating condition in approximately 30 minutes.

TUBE LIFE

As with all tubes, their quality degrades with age. This is due to cathode emission, a natural process found in all tubes. We recommend that you have your amplifier checked every 3-4 years, depending on usage, usually the amplifier will require re-tubing after this time has elapsed.

PANEL LAMP

The lamp which illuminates the front panel insert is easily replacable should it ever burn out. To replace it use only the same type with the same or greater voltage rating. In these amplifiers, the lamp is a FUSE LAMP STYLE 8V 0.15mA. Dimensions are 1/4" x 1 1/4". To replace the

lamp, first turn off the amplifier and unplug the power cord!

Remove the bottom cover and locate the lamp holder which sets behind the pront panel insert. Do not touch any other components inside the amplifier as high voltages may be present even after the amplifier is unplugged, sometimes for weeks! Carefully pry out the old lamp from the clips and firmly replace with the new lamp of the same type and rating. Replace the bottom cover after you are through.
