GENERAL KIT CONSTRUCTI ON INFORMATI ON
INTRODUCTION
The PACO kit you have just purchased is a high quality instrument and when assembled
and used according to the instructions in this manual, will provide many years of trouble-free
service. Therefore, the first, and we feel, most valuable advice we can offer in this manual is
to work carefully and patiently. By doing so, you will experience more satisfaction in your new
instrument, and greater confidence in your ability.
THE MANUAL
We suggest that you spend a little time NOW and read this entire manual thoroughly before
starting actual construction of the kit. This will familiarize you with the contents and general
procedure to be followed.
The step-by-step instructions will help you assemble the instrument with a minimum
possibility of error. Further assistance may be gained from using the large folded-in diagrams
supplied with this manual. These are enlargements of the smaller size figures referred to in
the step-by-step instructions. They should be attached to the wall above your work bench for
easier reference.
We advise you to keep this manual after the kit has been constructed, for future assistance
in using and maintaining your PACO instrument.
UNPACKING
We cannot stress too strongly the need for exercising care throughout these instructions.
This is especially true now as you unpack the kit. Parts may become easily damaged through
carelessness here. Do not throwaway any packing materials until all parts are accounted for.
Each part should be checked against the parts list at the back of the manual to make certain all
parts are present and correct as to value and type. The color code chart at the back of this
manual will assist you in identifying doubtful parts. Please notify us promptly
if
any shortage
or erroneous part is discovered. Return the inspection slip with your letter to expedite handling.
Keep in mind, however, minor differences in some parts do not indicate an error. A .05 mfd
capacitor, for example, may sometimes be found in the kit where a .047 mfd is called for in the
parts list. Such substitutions are checked carefully before they are made and you can be assured
they will work satisfactorily. The registration card accompaning each PACO kit MUST be filled
in and returned to the company immediately after purchase. Our warranty applies only to regiS
tered instruments.
TOOLS REQUIRED FOR ASSEMBLING AND WillING PACO KITS
Only standard tools are required in constructing PACO kits - a good quality soldering
iron with a small tip (50 or 60 watts), a pair of long-nose pliers,
a
pair of diagonal or side
cutting pliers, a small assortment of screwdrivers, and a few small end-wrenches or a small
adjustable wrench. Screwdriver handled nut-drivers may be used in place of wrenches in most
cases.
ASSEMBLING AND WillING
Proper positioning of wires and parts in this instrument is quite important, and changes
may affect operation. Follow the diagrams closely and you should encounter little,
if
any diffi
culty, for the layout has been thoroughly prechecked and tested for best results.
