AM/FM Stereo Tuner
The tuner also generates heat from the tubes and plate transformer. Normal convention cooling is
adequate so long as airflow around the unit is not restricted by other devices, shelving, etc.
Because of the large number of interconnecting wires needed for this amplifier, expanded
sleeving is used where practical to organize the cabling. This tends to simplify cable routing and
provides for a cleaner appearance. Wherever possible, cables should be dressed either tight to the
chassis, or well above the chassis so as to stay as far as possible away from signal-carrying lines
and to rest against the bottom cover plate, which further improves shielding.
