Radio - Static Damage
Bulletin 84-9-4Date Dec. '83
Ref. No. 84-036-9
SUBJECT: Static Damage To Radios
MODELS AFFECTED: All
The integrated circuits used in today's radios, and other electronic products are extremely susceptible to damage by static electricity. Delco Electronics requires all authorized A/C Delco Repair Stations to install static-protected work stations.
We have heard that some Delco radios are being damaged from static electricity where some dealers sublet to repair shops that do not have static protected work stations. Static damage repairs are more difficult to perform because more than one integrated circuit has been damaged.
We, therefore, encourage dealers to sublet Delco radios and other electronic components to only those shops that have static protected work shops, provide protection from static damage in some manner.
