LEFT side at the LEFT array and RIGHT side oi the film i.
array-when viewed from the listening side. Tire two inter.
laces and bases are IDENTICAL.

2) The hardwood bases are easily scratched. They require
careiui handling and lollowing oi precautions given later.

colors are very prone to picking up linl irorn being lalrl on
