MAINTENANCE

CONCERNING TRANSISTORS

Transistors differ fundamentally from radio vacuum tubes and
require special attention to ensure their full performance capabilities.
Given proper care, transistors will provide years of practically trouble-
free performance.

(a) Avoid locations subject to direct sunlight.
(b) Avoid high or low temperature extremes.
(c) Keep the tuner away from heat radiating sources.

GROUND

Although broadcasts can be received without a ground connection,
it is recommended that a good ground connection be made to a buried
grounding rod or water pipe to reduce interference and ensure safety.
Never use a gas pipe for a ground connection, however.
