SECTION 4 – Making Wire Connections
Please refer to assembly
Drawings 5 & 6
. Review the soldering and wiring tips on pp. 4 - 6 if you haven’t
already.
Step 1 – Connect the output transformer (TR2) wires
Cut the blue wire to a length of about 4 ¼” and connect it to V2 pin 1.
Make sure to leave space at pin 1
for another wire connection later in the instructions.
Cut the black wire to a length of about 1 ½” and connect it to the sleeve terminal of the same RCA jack.
Cut the green wire to a length of about 1 ¾” (above the grommet) and connect it to the center lug of the
RCA jack labeled “Tank (In)” in Drawing 5.
Cut the red wire to a length of about 5 ¼” and connect it to T3(5).
There will be one more wire connected
to this terminal so if you are connecting wires to the lower terminal holes, do not solder this connection
until the other wire connection is mentioned below.
Step 2 – Connect the power transformer (TR1) wires
Cut both red wires to a length of about 1 ½”. Connect one red wire to T2(2) and the other to T2(4).
Cut the white wire to a length of about 7 ½” and connect it to the power switch terminal labeled “T-On”
on the A-side of the switch as shown in Drawing 5.
Cut the black wire to a length of about 2 ¾” and connect it to the power receptacle’s “N” terminal.
Twist the two green wires together and cut this twisted pair of wires to a length of about 4". Connect one
of the wire ends to T1(1) and the other to T1(3).
Step 3 – Connect the power switch
Connect the 1
Ω
, 5 watt resistor from the power switch terminal “T-Off” on the B-side of the switch to the
nearest locking lug as shown in Drawing 5. (This will drain filter cap voltage when power is turned off).
Strip and tin an 11" length of the blue hook-up wire and connect it from the power switch “P” terminal on
the A-side of the switch to the solder lug on the side of the fuse holder as shown in Drawing 5.
Strip and tin an 8" length of the blue hook-up wire and connect it from the power switch “P” terminal on
the B-side of the switch to T3(5).
Step 4 – Connect the power cord receptacle
Strip and tin a 2" length of the blue hook-up wire and connect it from the center lug of the fuse holder to
the “L” lug of the power cord receptacle.
Strip and tin a 2" length of the blue hook-up wire and connect it from the “E” lug of the power cord
receptacle to the nearest locking lug as shown in Drawing 5.
Before you make a new connection at a particular terminal or solder lug, look at
Drawing 6
and notice how many other connections
will be made at that terminal. That way you can decide whether it’s best for you to solder the connection and leave space open for
future connections or hold off on soldering until after every connection at that location has been made.
