    The following models use the same schematic and cabinet but have different color combinations:

    C519C Charcoal with White grille
    C519L Beige with White grille
    C519P Yellow with Brown grille
    C519W White with Charcoal knob

    NOTE: The SAMS Photofact Set 418, Folder 13 calls out models A516G, L, W and A519F, V, Y using chassis 5A07 and 5A09. However the SAMS index for models C519C, L, P and W refers to this same Set and Folder and so therefore is applicable for this model also.

    WARNING:  One side of the AC line is connected to the chassis.  When servicing this radio, an isolation transformer should be used between the power line and the radio.
