Step 2 – Connect the filter caps and resistors

Connect the 1K resistor from T3(6) to T3(5).

Connect a 10K resistor from T3(5) to T3(3).

Connect another 10K resistor from T3(3) to T3(1).

Connect a 22µF capacitor from T3(6) to the nearest locking lug. 

Make sure to connect the negative end of the filter caps to the 
locking lug (ground) and the positive end to the terminal strip.

Connect another 22µF capacitor from T3(3) to the nearest locking lug. 

Make sure to connect the negative end 

to the locking lug and the positive end to the terminal strip.

Connect the remaining 22µF capacitor from T3(1) to the nearest locking lug. 

Make sure to connect the 

negative end to the locking lug and the positive end to the terminal strip.

Step 3 – Connect the “phono in” components

Connect a 470K resistor from T9(1) to T9(3).

Connect the 220pF capacitor from T9(3) to T9(4).

Step 4 – Connect the V1 components

Connect the 1M resistor from T10(1) to T10(2).

Connect a 1.5K resistor and a 25µF capacitor from V1 pin 3 to the nearest locking lug.

Connect the 500pF capacitor from T8(6) to T8(7).

Step 5 – Connect the V3 components

Connect a 1.5K resistor and the remaining 25µF capacitor from V3 pin 8 to the nearest locking lug. 

Make 

sure you connect the negative end of the capacitor to the locking lug.

Connect the remaining .01µF cap from V3 pin 2 to the center lug of the “Tank Out” jack. Leave room at 
V3 pin 2 for a resistor connection.
