chassis assembly from cabinet
The
chassis assembly may
now be
removed by slightly rocking
it
in the
cabinet and
slipping it out

coil
is
located at the left
end viewed
from the

unsolder
the
two
leads and remove screw and

coil is
then placed
in
the
position occupied
by the old one.
The nut
and screw are replaced
and the Radiola

the foregoing order. Before being replaced
in
the cabinet it should
be
given an
operating
test.
