CA30D Acoustic Amplifier
Introduction:
Crate Acoustic amplifiers are Made With Pride in the U.S.A.
To keep this amplifier looking its best, avoid abrasive cleansers.
Wipe the cabinet clean using a slightly dampened cloth. Never use
brass cleaners on the hardware since they could damage their pro-
tective coatings.
Congratulations!
