Calypso Tube Placement 
Rev .1.00  2006-08-16 
 
The Calypso is shipped with the tubes removed in order to  avoid shipping damage.  This guide will assist in the 
placement of each tube. 
 
It is important to note that all of the tubes are matched and  therefore each tube must be inserted into its proper socket, 
which is indicated on the outside of the tube box. 
 
The format is as follows, using one specific tube as an example:  
 “V1L”, where:  
V is the designator for a tube.   
1 is the numerical reference designator. 
L means that it is to be installed in the left channel  
When looking at the pins of each tube, note that they are all evenly spaced apart  except in one place where there is a 
larger gap.  This gap is to assist in  aligning the tube in its socket correctly. 
 
The following diagram shows all boards and the positioning for each tube.
