TUBE REPLACEMENTS
In many c a s e s instrument malfunction can be c o r r e c t e d by replac-
ing a weak o r defective tube.

Before making any internal adjust-
It is good practice to check tubes by substitution r a t h e r than by
the use of a "tube checkert1. The results obtained from the "tube
checker" can be misleading.

upon the setting of PULSE-LINEAR switch S1.
