Rear panel, tube cage, preamp tube shields and other parts removed for illustration.
F. POWER CORD: Connect to a grounded outlet in ac-
cordance with the voltage and frequency specifications
noted on the amplifier information label, which is located
inside the cabinet on the left when viewing from the rear.
G. FUSE: Provides electrical over-current protection. With
power disconnected, replace a blown fuse only with one
of the type and rating specified on the safety label.
H. RECTIFIER TUBE: Single 5Y3GT rectifier tube converts AC
voltage from the amplifier's power transformer into DC
voltage required by the power (I) and preamp (K) tubes. It
should be replaced only with an identical rectifier tube or
one with a comparable rating and quality.
I. POWER TUBE: Single 6V6GTA power tube drives the
power section of the amplifier. It should be replaced only
with an identical power tube or one with a comparable
rating and quality.

the amplifier, a minimum 4-ohm speaker load must be

higher volume levels.
