TRANSISTOR AND DIODE REMOVAL
Most transistors and all diodes used in the console are
mechanically supported by their leads. When replacing
these devices, proper lead configurations must be followed.
Minimum soldering heat (preferably with a low-wattage-
25W maximum-soldering iron) should be used to avoid
damage to the device. Be sure to place heat-shrinkable
tubing or "spaghetti" on leads where the original device
contained such tubing. Transistor lead codes are included
