Diagram 1: Kassai Tube Locations

Looking from the front of the amplifier, the next valve to plug in is the 5U4G
valve which goes into the last valve base at the back of the amplifier.

Inspect the locating pin on the bottom center of the valve and align with the
valve base (the locating pin can only go in one way round due to a locating

spigot) and with gentle but firm pressure insert the valve.
Looking from the front of the amplifier, the next valves to install are the 300B

valves which are inserted into the two 4 pin valve bases in the middle of the
amplifier.

It is absolutely vital that these valves are fitted correctly

(1) The larger pins must face the front of the amplifier when fitted to their valve

bases.

(2) The sticker on the valves base must also line up with the sticker on the
copper top plate, that is, A to A, B to B etc., or 1 to 1, 2 to 2 and so on.

Please make sure that both (1) and (2) are correct and with gentle but firm

pressure insert the valves into their sockets. Check again that all valves are fully
inserted in the correct way in their respective valve sockets. Follow the above

installation for both amplifiers.
