Transfer the 470 pF Capacitors 

Note that the right side of Figure 5 shows two 470 pF caps associated with jack 12 and 
jack 24. Carefully de-solder those two caps. 

1.

 

Install one of those caps between the center (hot) terminal of jack 12 and its 
associated ground terminal. Try to leave room in the hot terminal for a wire that 
will be added in a later step. 

2.

 

Install the other of those caps between the center (hot) terminal of jack 24 and its 
associated ground terminal. Try to leave room in the hot terminal for a wire that 
will be added in a later step. 

Transfer the wires from the old to the new jacks 

For all of the wires that connect to the RCA jacks, follow this procedure: 

1.

 

Remove 1 wire from the original jack fields. 

2.

 

Move that wire to the same place in the new jack field. 

3.

 

Continue that procedure until all of the wires have been moved over to the new 
jack fields. 

I found it easiest to keep the new and old jacks side by side. 

 

Figure 10-Starting with the jacks side by side makes it easy to correctly transfer the wires
