60 W Stereo Power Amplifier

– Feed the 5-inch piece of sleeving onto the black and white wires just connected. Stretch 

the sleeving to its full length. Place one piece of heat-shrink tubing on each end of the 

sleeving. Process with the heat gun. Be careful to focus the heat on the heat-shrink tubing, 

not the sleeving (which may melt if exposed to too much heat).

– Attach a spade lug terminal connector to each of the #18 black wires for the front panel 

power switch, along with the leads from varistor VR53. There will be two wires in each 

spade lug terminal—one black wire and one lead from VR53. Crimp each terminal.

– Slip two 3/4-inch long pieces of small heat-shrink tubing over each of the two #22 white 

wires. Connect to the pilot lamp. Solder. Move the heat-shrink tubing into position and 

process with a heat gun.

– Secure one of the two spade terminals prepared previously to the center terminal of the 

front panel power switch SW51.

– Secure the other spade terminal to one of the outside terminals on SW51. Note: tighten the 

unused screw on SW51 to ensure it does become loose over time.

– Prepare one 6-inch long #16 black stranded wire. Attach quick-disconnect terminals on 

each end of the wire.

– Attach one end of the wire prepared in the previous step to the 

ACH-2

 post on the power 

supply PWB. Attach the other end of the wire to the 

RYL51

 

NO

 (normally open) post. 

Note that the terminal legend for the relay is given on the top side of the device. Insert the 

connector straight down on the relay terminal. Do not bend the terminal as that may crack 

the housing.

– Prepare one 7-inch long #16 black stranded wire. Attach quick-disconnect terminals on 

each end of the wire.

– Attach one end of the wire prepared in the previous step to the 

ACH-3

 post on the power 

supply PWB. Attach the other end of the wire to the 

RYL51 COM

 (common) post. Note 

that the terminal legend for the relay is given on the top side of the device. Insert the 

connector straight down on the relay terminal. Do not bend the terminal as that may crack 

the housing.
