Now we'll do some preliminary wiring on the Control Panel parts
as shown in fig 3. Notice that individual solder lugs are identi-
fied by part number and lug designation. For example R79-1
means the lug labeled "1" of the Potentiometer R79. Jack lugs
are designated "T" (for the lug which will connect to the tip of an
inserted plug) "S", for Sleeve, and "R" for the ring connection
of a stereo plug.
This convention will be followed in these steps: Do not solder a
connection to a lug until told to do so with an instruction such as
(s2), which means that at that point there will be two wires on
the lug in question. If there are not the number of wires
specified at the lug when you get ready to solder, recheck to
see what has gone wrong. Connections which should not be
soldered yet will be marked (ns) for NO SOLDER. On these
unsoldered connections simply push the end of the wire
through the lug and crimp it back to mechanically secure it.
Begin wiring using the single strand bare wire supplied. At each
step cut the wire to the specified length. Slip the end through
the lug specified so that about 1/8" protrudes through the lug
and bend the end of the wire back to mechanically secure it.
These wires will all be grounds, so it is OK for them to touch the
panel or the bodies of the pots, but do not allow them to touch
any solder lugs other than those they are connected to.

Some connections are made using lengths of
the #22 stranded insulated wire. Prepare the wires
by cutting them to the length specified, removing
1/4" of insulation from each end and twisting and
tinning the exposed wire strands.
