Tube Placement Instructions
Before you install your tubes, please read the last paragraph from
the section
: TUBE CHOICES FOR THE KOMET
AMPLIFIER
Unscrew (in small increments) the two, back panel insertion screws. Remove
the back panel evenly with two hands. Use the reverse instructions when
installing back panel.
Looking at back of your amp, observe the tube placement. There are seven tube
sockets in total. Starting from the left, the first four are the power tube sockets,
(V6, V5, V4, and V3). These sockets as well as V2 and V1 are miniature nine
pin pre amp tube types.
Each tube enclosed is labeled with a number for the tube’s required placement
within the amp. Please make sure to install each labeled tube into the correct
corresponding tube socket.
V3 through V6 are for the EL84/6BQ5 power tubes.
V1 and V2 are for the 12AX7 / ECC 83 pre amp tubes.
Gently install each tube in the correct corresponding tube socket. Please note
each tube ‘s pin configuration must be properly and perfectly aligned with the
tube socket for installation. Do not force a tube into its socket. If correctly
aligned, it should go into the socket easily.
Note:
The
“ V “
stands for
“ valve “
, - term as used in England for audio tubes.
