Driver Transistors:
The driver transistors
Q33
and
Q34,

are located on the amplifier chassis. Before removing these
transistors, write down the lead color and location at each
transistor solder junction. If replacing transistors, apply
type
120
Wakefield thermal joint compound to each side of
the insulation wafer to provide good thermal transfer from
transistor to chassis. After replacement and before con-
necting transistor leads, check transistors with an ohm-
meter between case and chassis; there should be no con-
tinuity. Be sure that these transistors are not inverted in
the circuit; they are not identical devices.
Q33
is an NPN
transistor, while
Q34
is PNP transistor. Refer to the lower
right corner of the circuit diagram, Figure

for
terminal code. NOTE: when replacing driver transistors,
perform the following modification (if not already per-
formed): solder
a
3.3k,
Y2W
resistor across the terminals
to which the white and black leads of transformer T2 are
connected. Add a second ground wire from the terminal
nearest the front of the unit to which resistor R21 is con-
nected, through the chassis grommet, to the ground on
the Speaker Output jacks (same path as existing wire).
Output Transistors:
The output transistors
Q35
through
Q38,

are located on the black finned heat sinks. Replace-
ment procedure is the same for the driver transistors,
Q33
and
Q34.
NOTE: The output transistors,
Q35
through
Q38,
must be
matched for
current gain
and part number. When replac-
ing output transistors be sure to replace with devices which
have the same gain code as the original transistors. Shure
transistors are coded either by the last letter in the part
number or a color-dot on the top of the transistor.
