7.1.11 Volume and Tone Controls
To better understand how the volume and tone controls are wired, we
recommend that you study the VJ Conversion Chassis Layout and Schematic.
Cut the tab off of each of the pots with a pair of
cutters (side cuts). A pair of pliers can also be used
to bend the tab over and break it off.
We like to install the controls on the outside of the
chassis for better access.
Be careful with the soldering iron if you
temporarily install the pots on the outside of
the chassis. Fluxed solder will spit and
spatter onto the face of the chassis.
Here’s a picture of how the controls are configured. Sorry, the picture doesn’t
help much. It’s not the best work we’ve done.
The best resource is the layout diagram.
The volume and tone controls are connected to the Baby Will circuit board by
flying leads.
Remove the controls from the chassis and install the leads in the board.
Solder and trim the leads.
