Parts indented by the 1 (#) symbol are cortical for safety. Replace only with parts number specified. 2. In addition to safety, other parts and assemblies are ‘specified for conformance with such regulations as those ‘applying to spurious radiation. These must also be replaced only with speciied re- placements. Examples: RF converters, tuner units, antenna selector switches, AF cables, noise blocking capacitors, noise blocking filters, et. 8. Use specified internal wiring, Note especially: 1) Wires covered with PVC tubing 2) Double insulated wires 3) High voltage leads 4, Use spectied insulating materials for hazardous live parts, Note especially: 41) Insulation Tape 2) PVC tubing 3) Spacers (Insulating barriers) 4) Insulation sheets for transistors 5) Plastic screws for fixing microswitch (especially in turntable) 5. When replacing AC primary side components (trans: formers, power cords, noise blocking capacitors, etc.) wrap ends of wires securely about the terminals before soldering poke 6. Observe that wires do not contact heat producing parts (heatsinks, oxide metal fm resistors, fusible resistors, etc) * INFORMATION 7. Check that replaced wires do not contact sharp edged oF pointed pars. 8. Also check areas surrounding repaired locations. 9, Use care that foreign objects (screws, solder droplets, etc.) do not remain inside the set. SAFETY CHECK AFTER SERVICING Ater servicing, make measurements of leakage-current or resistance in order to determine that exposed parts are acceptably insulated from the supply citcutt. The leakage-current measurement should be done be. tween accessible metal parts (such as chassis, ground terminal, microphone jacks, signal inpuvloutput connec: tors, ete.) and the earth ground through a resister of 1500 ohms paralleled with a 0.15 uF capacitor, under the unit's normal working conditions. The leakage-curent should be less than 0.5 mA rms AC. The resistance measurement should be done between accessible exposed metal parts and power cord plug prongs with the power switch (if included) "ON". The resistance should be more than 2.2 Mohms.
