INSTRUCTIONS FOR ASSEMBLING THE DYNAKIT STEREO 70

DESCRIPTION

Your Dynakit stereo 70 is a complete dual 35watt power amplifier kit which offers the highestpossible fidelity, at low cost and in a compactarrangement. It uses a patented circuit of out­standing performance characteristics, along withtop quality parts, including the new Dynaco Super­Fidelity A-470 transformers --the finest available.The measured specifications show that the stereo70 is an amplifier of unequalled performance, andits lis ten in g quality is also unrivalled by anyregardless of price.

This amplifier has characteristics and powerrating ideal for either stereophonic or monophonicuse. The two non-interacting 35 watt channelsprovide adequate power, in a stereophonic or twochannel system, for loudspeakers of any level ofefficiency. The channels can be paralleled for afull 70 watts of low distortion output, suitable forpractically any monophonic use even whereseveral loudspeakers are in use in different areas.The high power capability and low internal imped­ance provide excellent damping for all types ofhigh quality speaker systems without need to makeadjustments to match specific speaker installations.

The design features of your Dynakit which con­tribute to its superior listening quality include somewhich are not revealed by the customary steady­state laboratory measurements. For example, thestereo 70 does not exhibit bounce and flutter whenpulsed with a transient signal. Thus a sharp per­cussive signal like a drum beat or a piano note willbe reproduced with sharpness and clarity and neit~er

overhang nor muddiness. The Stereo 70, unhkemany other amplifier circuits, has been designed toprovide its specified performance on a loudspeakerload, not just under laboratory measuring condi­tions. Therefore, the connection of a loudspeakerto the amplifier does not deteriorate its perform­ance or listening quality. In addition, due to thehigh quality of the output transformers used, theDynakit's power handling capabilities are maintain­ed over the entire audio band without the sharp risein distortion which characterizes most amplifiersat the extremes of high and low frequencies.

The Stereo 70 uses a circuit arrangement basedon that of the Dynakits Mark n and Mark III whichhas become world famous as one of superior qual­ity while essentially simple and trouble -free. Thenew 7199 tube is used as a pentode high gain voltageamplifier directly coupled to a cathodyne phaseinverter. All parameters are adjusted for minimumdistortion. This type of phase inverter has theunique advantage that its operation is independentof tube aging so that no adjustments are requiredin maintaining optimum performance.

An internal capacitive feedback loop balancesthe phase inverter at the highest frequencies, andthe a r ran gem e n t provides accurately balanceddriving signals to the output tubes. These tubesare type EL-34's (one pair for each channel) oper­ating well below their maximum ratings. The out­put tubes use a fixed bias arrangement which isset through use of Dyna Biaset (pat pending) whichprovides optimum linearity of the tubes and mini­mizes the effects of unbalanced components. Theconnection of the output tubes includes a smallpercentage of screen loading which improves theregulation of the output stage and makes it corr-­paratively uncritical of load impedance.

The imp e dan c e match and bias conditionsutilized in the output stage provide minimum dis­tortion over a very wide dynamic range. In addi­tion, 20 db of negative voltage feedback lowers thedistortion to an unmeasurable proportion at normallistening levels and to less than 1% intermodulationdistortion at 35 watts output on each channel.

The use of a minimum number of phase­shifting stages along with car e f u I transformerdesign makes it practical to have unconditionalstability at both high and low frequencies. Thisfeature of the design means that there is no tend­ency toward motorboating or oscillation under anycondition of use.

The inherent lin e a I' it Y of the circuit, thecomplete stability, and the prefabrication of allcritical wiring on the printed circuit assemblymake construction completely non-critical. Theuse of conservatively 0 per ate d, highest qualitycomponents insures superior and de pen dab I eoperation over a long period of time.

GENERAL WIRING PRACTICE

Assembly of the Dynakit stereo 70 is quitesimple compared to general kit assembly require­ments. This is true because all critical parts ofthe Dynakit are factory assembled for you on theprinted circuit assembly. Other parts are put outin the open through a free and uncluttered layoutso there is easy accessibility for wiring or troubleshooting purposes. Construction of your Dynakitshould not take more than about five hours becauseof these simplifications.

Upon opening your kit, check the componentswith the parts list. Familiarize yourself with thecomponents; they can be identified by comparisonwith the pictorial diagram and by specified colorcoding. Proper color coding will be mentioned foreach resistor as it is used.

Tools r e qui l' e d for easy assembly of yourDynakit are soldering iron (small tip) or soldering

gun, long nose pliers, screwdriver, and wirecutters. Although not essential, a low cost wirestripper and cutter of the type which can be pur­chased for less than $1.00 will greatly facilitatecutting and stripping the various leads in the kit.

Good soldering technique is valuable in obtain­ing sat i s f act 0 I' Y results from any electronicequipment. ALL SOLDERING MUST BE DONEWITH ROSIN CORE SOLDER. There is no war­ranty on any equipment in which acid core solderhas been used. Make sure that the solder used isplainly marked "Rosin Core." If you have solderon hand the origin of which is doubtful it is wise toobtain new 50/50 or 60/40 l' a sin core solder.Whenever soldel' in g is required, the assemblyinstructions specify it by "(S)." If this symbol isnot shown aiter a connection is specified, it indi­cates that further connections will be made at thatpoint before soldering.

Soldering is accomplished by heating the jointwith the iron until solder is hot enough to flowwhen touched to the joint. It is not desirable tofeed the solder to the iron. It should be fed to thejunction of iron and joint. After the solder flows,the iron should be held in place for a few secondsand removed when it is seen that the solder hascontacted both parts of the connection - the lug andthe wire to which it is connected. It should notshow a ball of solder but a smooth transition fromsolder to component lead.

Before a p ply in g solder the joint should beclean and the lead should be crimped in place soas to have mechanical security. It is not neces­sary to wrap leads around contacts many times. Asingle turn and pinching together with long nosepliers is suitable. After soldering, there shouldbe no play at the joint if the lead is wiggled with apair of plie rs. It is practical to do all solderingwith a pencil type iron of low wattage rating. Asmall tip is extremely useful when working in aconfined space. If a solder ing gun is used, itshould be used with discretion since the amount ofheat available is far more than l' e qui red forsoldering light wires.

Component leads should be trimmed as theyare used; the length should be such that the properconnection can be made from point to point withoutstrain on lugs or components. Care should beexercised not to allow wires to touch one anotherunless they are actually connected to the samepoint.

The ins t I' U c t ion s which follow have beenarranged for simplified procedure in which thework can be done without interference between thevarious portions of the wiring. It is recommendedthat the instructions be followed on a step by stepbasis, checking off each stage as it is completed.The pictorial diagrams should be used for refer-

ence and all connections checked against thesebefore going on to the next stage. If the wiring isdone methodically and each step checked carefully,your amplifier should work without difficulty assoon as it is completed.

40 (0{ Mount the printed circuit board PC -3 fromthe bottom of the chassis. Note the num­bers of the eyelets are upright when look­ing from the rear of the chassis. Use a4/40 screw, lockwasher and nut at eachmounting hole. The two wires from theboard s h a u I d be straightened carefully.These are used at a later step.

In making solder connections to the printedcircuit board, all connections are made tothe numbered eyelets in the board. In thisway, there is no danger of damaging theprinted wiring or the components which arepart of the board as sembly. These eyeletsalready have solder in them and it is veryeasy to make sol de r connections to theboard. The lead wires should have theirends stripped back about 1/4", and thesestripped ends should be tinned by heatingwith a soldering iron and touching againstthe solder. When the wire is to be solderedto the eyelet on the board, the eyelet isheated until the solder flows; and then thewire end is pushed into the eyelet and heldin place until the solder sets. This type ofsoldering can be done with a very smalliron, and it is preferable not to use anymore heat on the eyelet on the board thanis required to get the solder to flow.

Your D y n a kit includes Dyna Biaset (patentpending) which greatly simplifies setting of thebias voltage. This can now be done with the mostsimple and inexpensive types of dc meters as longas they have a rating of 1000 ohms per volt orhigher. The correct setting of the bias provides atotal cathode current for each pair of EL-34 tubesof 100 mao This current through the precision15.6 ohm resistors produces a voltage drop ofexactly 1. 56 volts dc, and this v 0 It age can bechecked at pin #8 of each preamplifier power take­off socket. 1. 56 volts is also the voltage which isfurnished by a "0" type flashlight dry cell .. Thusany fresh cell of this type can be used for anaccurate reference standard for bias setting.

The procedure for setting the bias is to meas­ure the voltage output of a "D" type dry cell andnote the meter reading. Then insert the positivemeter probe in the pin #8 hole of the left pream­plifier power socket (note that outside the chassisthe pin n u m bel's are counted counterclockwisefrom the keyway while inside the chassis they arecounted clockwise). The negative met e r probe

should touch the c has sis. P lug in the GZ -34rectifier tube, and in about 10 seconds there willbe a current flow which will cause a meter deflec­tion. As the rectifier warms up, the reading willincrease. The left bias potentiometer should beadjusted until the meter reading at pin #8 is thesame as across the dry cen (this reading will be1. 56 volts if the meter is of sufficient accuracy).This adjustment should then be made using theright bias potentiometer and measuring the voltageat pin 118 of the right power takeoff socket. Thenrepeat the setting for the left control and left setof tubes. There may be Some drifting of the read­ing as the tubes heat, but this will stabilize within15 minutes after which no further adjustment isrequired. Small variations will occur with linevoltage changes. These will have no effect onperformance. A It h au g h the setting is a semi­permanent one, at times of tube replacement orsimilar repair or maintenance work, resetti.ng ofthe bias will preserve peak performance and keepdistortion at an absolute minimum.

If in the course of bias setting it is found thatthe control range of the potentiometer is insuffi­cient to obtain the correct setting, do not operatethe amplifier until the cause of the difficulty hasbeen established. Operation with incorrect biascan lead to damage to the output tubes and/or othercomponents.

Note that the use of pin #8 as directed in thewiring instructions means that this pin cannot beused as a connection point for preamplifiers if thepreamplifiers take power from the power takeoffsockets of the front panel. Most preamplifiers donot require the use of this pin. However, for thosewhich do, some other pin must be used as a biascheck point. If no other pin is available, theconnection from pins 1/8 of V3 and V6 to the pre­amplifier power sockets must be omitted; and biasmeasurements should be based on voltages readdirectly at pin #8 of V2 or V3 for the left channelor pin 1i8 of V6 or V7 for the right channel.

PREAMPLIFIERS

The Dynakit Stereo 70 can be used with anyconventional stereo or monophonic preamplifier,or pair of monophonic preamplifiers. Preamp­lifiers which con t a i n their own built-in powersupply can be used by connecting their audio cablesto the input socket. Those units which requirepower from the amplifier can be readily used withthe Dynakit provided that the power sockets on thefront panel of the Dynakit are properly wired. Thepreceding instructions include the proper wiringfor both Dynakit and Heathkit WA-P2 preamplifiersso that these can be inserted without modification.Should others requiring different socket connec­lions be used, the socket wiring can be changed tosuit their requirements.

PROTECTIVE COVER

The protective cover which is supplied with theStereo 70 has been designed to be both functionaland good looking. It should be used on the amplifierif the amplifier is located where it can be inadver­tently to u c h e d by anybody. There is voltageappearing above chassis on the printed circuitboard which is not lethal, but which can give anuncomfortable shock. In addition, the tubes gethot in normal operation, and touching them canresult in a minor burn. Therefore, the protectivecover should generally be used.

The amplifier should be located where there isadequate ventilation - at least one foot of spaceabove it and a few inches all around. The amplifiercan be located away from other elements of thehigh fidelity system so there should be no need toput it in too confined a space. NEVER put anythingon top of the cover which can obstruct air flow.Always use the amplifier with the tubes in verticalposition.

The cover and bottom plate arc affixed at thesame time. The amplifier chassis should be setover the bottom plate, the cover lowered over thechassis, and then the three pieces are fastenedtogether with the six sheet metal sc rews throughthe chassis sides.

USING THE STEREO 70

The Dynakit Stereo 70 is designed to be used inany of three different modes of operation: stereo­phonic use in which separate stereo channels arecarried through the two sides of the amplifier;high-low frequency amplification where one chan­nel carries the low frequencies and the other thehigh frequencies with a frequency dividing networkahead of the amplifier; and monophonic use withthe two channels paralleled so that 70 watts ofpower are available.

In stereo use, the stereo 70 provides 35 wattsper channel. A stereo preamplifier's two outputcables, or other left and right signals, are con­nected to the input jacks of the ste reo 70. Theinput switch is set to "stereo", and remains in thatpos ition whenever two input cables are connected,allowing the preamplifier to do all the switching.The right loudspeaker is connected to the "right"screw terminal strip between the "c" terminal andthe terminal corresponding to the speaker's im­pedance. The left loudspeaker is similarly con­nected to the "left" terminal strip.

If there are two monophonic preamplifierswhich require power from the amplifier, each isconnected to the respective preamplifier powertakeoff socket. As provided, these will accom-

modate Dynakit monophonic preamplifiers withoutmodification.

The stereo 70 can be turned on and off fromthe back panel switch, or this switch can be left in"on" position, and the amplifier switched from oneof the switched ac outlets on the associated pre­amplifier.

High-Low frequency amplification

For this type of operation the input switch onthe Stereo 70 should be put to "stereo" position.The low frequency output of the dividing or cross­over network should be fed to the left input, andthe "left" loudspeaker output should be connectedto the bass speaker. The high frequency output ofthe diViding or cross -over network should be fedthrough the right channel, and the tweeter con­nected to the "right" loudspeaker terminal strip.

Monophonic 70 watt amplification

For monophonic operation, the two channels ofthe Stereo 70 may be paralleled. For this, onlyone input cable is connected to either the left or theright input (but not both), the input s witch is set to"mono", and the outputs are connected together.An insulated wire jumper should be connected from"c" to "c" on the screw terminal strips. Anotherinsulated wire jumper should be connected from"8" to "8" if a 4 ohm loudspeaker is used, or from"16" to" 16" is an 8 ohm or 16 ohm loudspeaker isused. When using the 16 ohm loudspeaker in thisfashion, the amplifier's maximum power output isnot as great because of the impedance. mismatch,but there is no loss of power when using a 4 ohmor 8 ohm loudspeaker as specified above. Themaximum power available into a 16 ohm loudspeakeris still 55 watts, however, and there is a compen­sating factor. The distortion, as levels below max­imum, will be reduced by this type of connection.What happens is that the operating conditions areshifted from maximum power output to minimumdistortion. This same operation can also beachieved, of course, by connecting an 8 ohm loud­speaker to paralleled 8 ohm taps, or a 4 ohmloudspeaker to paralleled 4 ohm taps. Note thatwhenever the two outputs are paralleled, only oneinput cable should be used, the other input socketshould not be used, and the switch is on "mono".

It is also practical to use the "mono" positionwith a single input source with two separate loud­speakers. In this case, each speaker is connectedto one of the screw output strips using the imped­ance which pertains to the respective speaker. Nojumpers are required between the output strips.

A monophonic preamplifier wh i c h requirespower from the amp 1if ie r can be connected toeither of the two power takeoff sockets.

ENJOYING STEREOPHONIC SOUND

Stel' e 0 ph 0 n i c sound 0 if e r s an importantenhancement of enjoyment of your high fidelitysystem. The proper setup and use of your stereo­phonic system will bring considerable satisfaction.However, stereophony introduces problems in highfidelity reproduction which can dim in ish yourenjoyment of your hi fi system unless these prob­lems are understood and corrected. These fewnotes on the subject should assist materially in theinstallation and use of a stereophonic system whichadds to your listening pleasure.

The pieces of equipment to be used should beas similar as possible in each channel. This isparticularly true for the loudspeaker to be used.Different types and brands of speakers have verygreat differences in frequency response and otherimportant characteristics. If, for example, onespeaker has a peak in response at a certain fre­quency where the other does not, the stereophonicbalance will be changed at that frequency. Theneed for frequent rebalancing is due to this typeof dissimilarity.

There has been a relatively high proportion ofdissatisfaction with stereo which has arisen be­cause of the attempt to attach an inferior secondchannel to complete a system. If this channeldiffers from the first channel it frequently destroysany potential benefits of stereophonic sound.

The proper reproduction of monophonic discsthrough the stereo system requires the cancella­tion of identical signals (of opposite phase) so thatthere is no unwanted vertical signal component inthe output. This requires either the parallellingof the two sides of the cartridge or the parallellingof the outputs of identical preamps. If the preampsare slightly different, the vert i cal componentscannot be eliminated properly. In Dynakit pre­amplifiers, the critical components which deter­mine the response characteristics of the preamp­lifier playback characteristics have a toleranceof only 1% so that this pro b I e m cannot causedifficulty.

Channel phasing is a problem of stereo whichis readily solved, once understood. If, on a singlesound, one speaker cone moves inward while theother moves out, the s y s t em is not properlyphased, and the sound area between the speakerswill lack homogeneity. All tapes and all discs arenow reproduced so that their phasing is consistent.Therefore, once phasing of the playback equipmentis set it can be maintained for all tape and discsources without further change.

To check for proper phasing, playa monophonicrecording so that one signal comes through bothchannels. Then move back and forth between thespeakers. If phasing is correct, there will be a

Page 11: Dynaco ST70 - t · PDF fileMONO I ~mQ S TfREO • PAT. NOS. 2815407 ... watt power amplifier kit which offers the highest ... top quality parts, including the new Dynaco Super

smooth transition of sound between the speakers.If it is not correct, there will be an intermediatearea where the sound will shift -from one to theother. If phasing is not correct, it can be rectifiedby interchanging the two leads between one of theamplifier c h ann e I s and its associated speaker.There should be no need to change phasing oncethe system is set up properly.

Proper phasing of the stereo pickup or tapehead is generally accomplished by the manufac­turer of this item. However, this can be inverted ininstallation if directions are not followed precisely.If there is a drop in volume using a monophonictape or disc, this indicates probable incorrectphasing. An interchange of ground and "hot" sideof one of the cartridge channels or of the two leadsto one channel of the tape head will remedy thistype of incorrect phasing.

Hum is another problem which the stereo discplayback cartridge can introduce. In some cases(particularly where independent preamps are usedfor the two channels) the use of a common groundlead on the two inputs will provoke a hum condi­tion. For this reason, many stereo pickup manu­facturers provide separate ground connections foreach channel by using four cartridge terminals.The cable shields of the two channels should bekept separated.

If a three terminal magnetic cartridge arrange­ment is used, it is very possible that hum will beencountered if the equipment from the two channelshas any additional interchannel connection (besidethe common shield from the pickup). Connectionof the Stereo 70 should not give this trouble. How­ever, dissimilar units in each channel can be asource of hum when three terminal cartridges areused. Crystal and ceramic cartridges which gointo high level inputs should not normally introducethis type of hum problem.

Positioning of loudspeakers will af fee t thequality of stereophonic reproduction. Generally,moderate distances of six to ten feet along thesame wall pro vi d e the best effect. If greaterspacing is required, the use of a blend control canhelp to provide "fill" in the middle. However, ifextreme distance is required, a "phantom" middlechannel is useful. It has generally been establishedthat an L + R combination of the two channels pro­vides the best center fill. Information on the propermethod for obtaining this signal, using either thetwo regular stereo amplifiers, or a third ampli­fieI', may be obtained on request from Dynaco,Inc. This arrangement will also provide a com­bined signal for a remote monophonic extensionspeaker.

In most rooms, the proper balance of thestereo system will be different for different listen­ing positions. If the listening positions are rela-

tively far from the s pea k e I' s, this problem isdiminished, and' optimum results are obtainablefor several listening positions simultaneously.

The most basic consideration of the installationand use of a stereophonic system is that stereoalone does not create realism and high qualitysound. Two low grade stereo channels will notgive the qua 1it Y of one high grade monophonicchannel. There is no substitute for high qualitycomponents, carefully installed.

IN CASE OF TROUBLE

Your Dynakit Stereo 70 has been designed to beas free from trouble as possible. However, amistake in assembly or a defective component canaffect its performance or m a k e it inoperative.Some trouble-shooting procedures are suggestedin case difficulty is encountered. Naturally thewiring should be checked very carefully to makesure that all con nee t ion s have been made inaccordance with instructions.

The tubes should light after a few seconds ofwarmup. If they do not, it is probable that thereis no ac voltage getting into the amplifier, whichindicates a possible blown fuse.

Fuse failure

If fuses blow frequently without apparent cause,this may sometimes be rectified by using a slowblow type of fuse. However, do not exceed the 3ampere fuse rating when replacing fuses.

If fuses blow within 30 seconds of turning theamplifier on, remove the GZ -34 rectifier tube andsee if this cures the problem. If it does, therectifier may be bad and another should be tried.A 5U4GB type of rectifier can be substituted fortrial purposes, although using this tube type willcut down the maximum power rating of the ampli­fieI'. If the GZ -34 is not at fault, the quadruplesection filter capacitor may be snorted. Generally,shorts in this section of the amplifier will show upin a measurement of resistance (with the amplifierunplugged from the 117 volt line) from capacitorto ground. This resistance should exceed 100,000ohms.

Fuses blowing with all tubes removed indicateeither m i s wi l' in g or a defective P A-060 powertransformer.

Tubes glowing

If one (or a pair) of the EL-34's glows a brightred color after slight warmup, it is possible thatthe tube is bad, or there may be a fault in the biassupply which supplies neg at i v e voltage to theEL-34' s, measurable (with a high impedance metersuch as a VTVM) at pin #5 of each EL-34. The

9

Page 12: Dynaco ST70 - t · PDF fileMONO I ~mQ S TfREO • PAT. NOS. 2815407 ... watt power amplifier kit which offers the highest ... top quality parts, including the new Dynaco Super

actual value of negative voltage will depend on thesetting of the respective bias potentiometer. Withthe Biaset con n e c t ion reading the proper 1.56volts, the negative voltage at the EL-34 tubesshould be within 20% of minus 32 volts. If the twotubes in a pair have different negative voltagesat pin #5, as measured by a VTVM, this is a clueto a defective component or wiring. (V2 and V3make one pair; V6 and V7 make the other pair).A small difference in voltage indicates either arunaway tube (which can be checked by borrowingthe pair from the other channel) or a leaking .1mfd capacitor on the PC-3 board. If one tube hasno negative voltage, it indicates that there is anopen connection from the bias supply to this tube.

If no meter is available, it is possible to pindown the fault with a glowing tube by switching thetwo tubes of the pair. In the same socket exhibitsthe glow, the fault is in the amplifier bias supplyor components. If the same tube glows in trans­posed position, it is most like~a defective tube.

The tubes sup P lie d with the Stereo 70 arematched and should be completely interchangeable.When making replacements of tubes, they shouldpreferably (although not absolutely essential) bereplaced in pairs which are matched. There isno need to maintain matching of all four EL-34tubes.

In emergencies, substitution of the tubes canbe made with at her tube types. The 5881 andKT -66 can be used in place of the EL-34's providedthe bias is readjusted to give 1.56 at the Biasetcheck point. The 5U4G or 5U4GB can be used inplace of the GZ -34. There is no substitute for the7199 tube.

No signal

If there is no signal coming through the ampli­fier, each side should be checked separately tosee whether one channel may be working. If oneworks, and the other does not, the working channelcan be used for test purposes. For example, thetubes can be interchanged to determine whetherthey will work in eithe r channel. In this way, adefective tube can be singled out.

It is advisable to remove the input cable andsee whether insertion of the plug makes a "thump"through the loudspeaker. Sometimes, a defectivecable or pre amp prevents signal from comingthrough while the amplifier itself is operative. Ifthere is no signal from the preamplifier, but a"thump" can be induced by unplugging the shieldedcable from the preamplifier or by inserting the tipof a small screwdriver into the input socket, thenthe fault is not in the amplifier but in the associatedequipment.

If a meter is available, voltages should bechecked in comparison with the voltage table in-

eluded in these instructions. Departures of morethan 10% from the values shown indicate possiblemalfunctioning of some of the circuit components.

Hum and noise

If excessive hum or noise appear, it is neces­sary to determine whether they occur within theamplifier. Sometimes noise in the preamplifier isblamed on the amplifier. The simple test is toremOve the cables from the input socket and seewhether the same noise is present. If the noise isremoved when the cable is unplugged, it is in thepreceding equipment which should then be checked.If not, it is probably in the amplifier.

Compare the noise in the two channels. Ifboth are the same, it is not likely to be tubes likethe 7199 or EL-34 which affect only the channel inwhich they operate, but it could be the GZ-34 orthe quad capacitor or bias capacitors which arecommon to both sides of the circuit.

Sizzling sounds coming through the loudspeakermay come from poor can t act s between circuitelements and chassis. Make sure that groundconnections are tight.

In some rare cases, loud pops may be heardthrough the loudspeakers. These can come frompoor conditions inside the pins of the EL-34 tubes.Touching a hot soldering iron to these pins willrectify this. Make sure that solder is not depositedon the pin or the tube may not fit the socket.

In the event that trouble shooting will not cor­rect the problem, factory consultation is availablewithout charge, and factory service at moderatecharge.

FACTORY SERVICE AND GUARANTEE

The Dynakit Stereo 70 is designed to providegood service over a long period of time. It isintended to be used at the conventional 117 voltline input found in most homes. Operation up to125 volts will not cause any problem. Above thatvoltage, it is suggested that a voltage regulating oradjusting device be used in order to protect thecomponents in your amplifier. The normal guar­antee on the equipment is not applicable if it isused above the 125 volt rating.

All parts in the Stereo 70 are guaranteed for aperiod of one year from purchase except tubeswhich carry the standard EIA guarantee of 90 days.Parts which are defective will be replaced at nocharge if they are returned prepaid to the factoryeither directly or via the dealer from whom the kitis purchased. Many Dynaco dealers carry spareparts in stock to facilitate replacements. Afterthe guarantee period is past, Dynaco will supplyany non-standard parts used at net prices. Parts

which are standard dealer items can be purchasedfrom most electronic supply stores.

If transformers are returned for factory repairor exchange, they should be removed from theequipment without cutting the leads short. If leadshave been cut rather than unsoldered, so that theyare no longer usable, the guarantee on the trans­former is voided.

In the event that the assembled kit does notfunction properly or breaks down after some use,Dyna Company will service the kit for a servicefee of $7.50 plus the cost of parts which have beendamaged by the user or are past the guaranteeperiod. This service facility is not available forkits which are incompletely wired, or have beenwired with other than rosin core solder, or inwhich changes or modifications have been madewithout fa c tor y authorization. In addition, NOPARTS WILL BE REPLACED NOR WILL ANYSERVICE BE AVAILABLE FOR KITS WHERETHE GUARANTEE POST CARD HAS NOT BEENRETURNED. THE SERIAL NUMBER ON THISINSTRUCTION BOOK MUST BE MENTIONED IN

CORRESPONDENCE, PARTS RETURN, OR KITSRETURNED FOR FACTORY SERVICE. It is thefactory prerogative to limit the service facility toone year from date of purchase.

When shipping the amplifier for service, a notemust be attached specifying the symptoms, thename and address of the sender, and the serialnumber of the unit. The kit should be securelypacked with stuffing inside the cover to prevent thetubes from falling out of the sockets. It should beplaced in a rugged carton surrounded by severalinches of shredded paper or other soft packingmaterial. The original carton is not suitable forshipp ing a wired amplifier.

Shipment should be made by prepaid RailwayExpress, where possible; and repaired kits will bereturned by Railway Express COD for freight andservice charges unless these charges have beenprepaid. Parcel post is not a safe method forshipment of completed kits and should not be used.

Dyna Company assumes no responsibility orliability for dam age s or injuries sustained inassembly or operation of the Dynakit.
