TREAT YOUR RADIO CAREFULLY
You May Not Get Another For Some Time
radio manufacturing done in New Zealand is being switched over to war work makes it more necessary than it has ever been before to treat radio sets with mpecial..« care. It is not possible in the space available on this page to discuss the subject at length, but there are certain precautions that every owner of a receiving set can, and should take. ig HE fact that most of the
1. Don’t play unnecessarily with the switch that controls your radio. If the children are in the habit of doing that, explain to them that putting the switch on and off quickly releases surges of power through the valves. This weakens them, and makes it necessary to increase volume to get the same result. Sooner or later it means new valves. 2. If you have a portable radio, protect it from the damp. Moisture is not only fatal to good reception, but corrodes the parts, and makes it necessary to call in a service man-whom at present you will be lucky to get.
3. Protect your set from dust and dirt, if you can. If you don’t you will have trouble. But you will have worse trouble if your zeal leads you to endless dustings and polishings of the inside of the set. It is better to risk some dust than indulge in clumsy dusting. 4. Don’t tinker with your set if you are not an expert. You may find it difficult to hire an expert, but it is better to wait for him if you can than to try to do his work for him. In general a set should have a run-over about once in six months.
