MAINTENANCE
The Rogue Eighty-Eight has been designed to provide many years of
enjoyable and reliable service. The greatest care has been taken to select
vacuum tubes that provide superior sound and ensure long life. However, at
some point in time, the tubes will wear out. The factory-installed tubes
should last thousands of hours. Should it become necessary to replace a
tube, follow the instructions listed below.
Replace Tubes by :
1)
Turn off power at switch.
2)
Wait one hour for dangerous voltages to dissipate.
3)
Unplug power cord from wall socket.
4)
Remove the top cover. See figure 2.
5)
Using a glove or clean dry cloth, carefully remove the tubes from
their sockets - DO NOT TOUCH ANY OTHER ELECTRICAL
COMPONENTS.
6)
Obtain and insert a new set of tubes. It is recommended that a
new set of tubes be obtained from Rogue. If tubes are obtained
from another source, follow the diagram in figure 3 for tube type.
7)
Insert new tubes in sockets using a glove or cloth. See figure 3 for
locations.
No other items in the unit are designed to be user serviceable
.
