INSTALLING  AMPLIFIER  IN  AN 

ING  CABINET 

If  the 

is  to  be  installed  in  an  ex-

isting  cabinet,  careful  attention  should  be 

to 

the  outline  drawing  shown  in 

III, 

J. 

Because  certain  components,  especially  the  power 

capacitors,  are  quite  large,  it  will  be  seen 

that  the  overhang  at  the  top  of  the  front 
is  not very  great  and  at the bottom 

is virtu\llly 

zero.  This  \Yill  require  considerable  care  in  cutting 
the  necessary  hole  in  the  cabinet.  It  is  strongly 
recommended  that  the  amplifier  be  examined  in 
detail  before  laying  out  this  hole  to  prevent costly 

mistakes.  Referring  to  the  side  view  in  the  out­

line  drawing  in  Section  III, 

J., 

it  will  be  seen  that 

overall  front  panel  height  is 

5", 

that the  rear panel 

is 

4.85", 

and  that  the side gussets are 

4.48" 

high.  This  will  make  possible  the  use  of  a  hole 

somewhat  less  than 

4.85" 

high,  if  the  amplifier 

can be  tipped  slightly  as  it is inserted. 

Front  panel  overhang  at  each  side  is 

mately 

%", 

requiring  less  precision  in  the  horiz­

ontal  dimension. 

H. 

WALNUT  OR  TEAK  EN-

CLOSURE 

If  the  walnut  or  teak  enclosure  option  was 

included  with  your  amplifier,  it  may  be 

as  outlined  below.

The  enclosure  kit  consists  of  the  following: 

(one  right  and  one left). 

aluminum  top  cover  with 

Allen  screws  and  nuts

Wood  side 

have  been  sanded 

but  not 

It  is  recommended  that  the  wood  pieces 

be  finish  sanded  with  fine  sandpaper  such  as

If  a

necessary  to  apply  filler  to  the  wood  before  stain-
