F.
POWER CORD: Connect to a grounded outlet in ac-
cordance with the voltage and frequency specifications
noted on the amplifier information label, which is located
inside the cabinet on the left when viewing from the rear.
G. FUSE: Provides electrical over-current protection. With
power disconnected, replace a blown fuse only with one
of the type and rating specified on the safety label.
H. RECTIFIER TUBE: Single 5Y3GT rectifier tube converts AC
voltage from the amplifier's power transformer into DC
voltage required by the power (I) and preamp (K) tubes. It
should be replaced only with an identical rectifier tube or
one with a comparable rating and quality.
I.
POWER TUBE: Single 6V6GTA power tube drives the
power section of the amplifier. It should be replaced only
with an identical power tube or one with a comparable
rating and quality.

SPEAKER OUTPUT JACK: The '57 Custom Champ's
single 4-ohm internal speaker connects here, or a 4-ohm
external speaker enclosure (5 watts minimum) can be
connected instead. In either case, to prevent damage to
the amplifier, a minimum 4-ohm speaker load must be
connected when power is on.
K. PREAMP TUBE: Single 12AY7 preamp tube drives the
preamp section of the amplifier. It should be replaced
only with an identical preamp tube or one with a compa-
rable rating and quality, however, a 12AX7A preamp tube
may be substituted in order to achieve more distortion at
higher volume levels.
