FRONT 
Inspect a 300B valve base and you will notice that two of the pins are larger than the 
other two; this is to help ensure that the valve can only be inserted one way. 
1)  The  larger  pins  must face  each  other  when  fitted  to  their  valve  bases  on  the 
central board. 
2)  The sticker on the valve base must also line up with the sticker on the central 
circuit board; for instance, ‘AtoA’, ‘BtoB’ or ‘1to1’, ‘2to2’ etc. 
3)  Please also  note  the  diagram  located  on  the  output  transformer,  showing 
correct installation and orientation. 
Please  make  sure  that  steps (1), (2) and (3) are correct and with gentle but  firm 
pressure insert the valve into its socket. Check again that all valves are fully inserted 
correctly in to their respective valve sockets. 
Looking  from  the  front  of  the  amplifier,  insert  the  5U4G valve into the last empty 
socket located on the right, situated between two smaller valves. Locate the rib on 
the central pin of the valve and align with the valve base (it can only be inserted one 
way due to this locating rib) and with gentle but firm pressure insert the valve. 
Check once again that all valves are correctly fitted, and then replace the top 
cover.
