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

  Model	Color
  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.
