Step 1 – Mount the Lamp Holder

Drawing 4 

shows where to mount the lamp holder.  Be sure to mount it so 

that  its  solder  lugs  point  towards  the  bottom  opening  of  the  chassis  box.  
(Once the lamp holder is mounted you may screw in the bulb and then the 
jewel).

Step 2 – Mount the Power Switch

Drawing  4 

shows  where  to  mount  the  power  switch.    Be  sure  to  mount  the  power 

switch with its solder lugs directed toward the bottom opening of the chassis box.

Step 3 – Mount the Controls

Drawing 4 

shows where to mount the bass, treble, and volume pots.

Remove the two nuts and two flat washers from the 250K 
Bass and Treble pot bushings. On each pot put one nut on the 
bushing, turning it all the way down on the bushing.
Put one of the 3/8" lock washers on the bushing, then mount 
the pot to the front panel with all lugs facing up.
Place one of the flat washers on the bushing followed by the 
remaining mounting nut and tighten. (Keep the remaining flat 
washers as one will be used in the next step).
