 Amplffier Hint.
 The plug and pack method of changing from one step to another n multi-stage amplifers is very com mon. However ,the mistake of con lecting the plug directly to the fone cords is often made. Instead of do- ng this, connect it to a short length of double flexible cord. Bring the end thru a hole in the panel and connect to pair of binding posts on ,he side of the panel.
