OPTION 1:  COMPLETELY REMOVING THE CONNECTOR PCB

We suggest using this option.  Unscrew the PCB from its mounting inside the tender

and gently pull  it out toward you.  The wires will
restrict movement somewhat, but you will be able
to maneuver it enough to work with it.  To remove
the connector board from the circuit, you must clip
all the input wires where they enter the connector
board.  Start with the first pair of input power wires
(usually one red and one black), cut them free using  diagonal cutters, and then take a
small piece of electrical tape and bind this pair together, leaving tails extending that can

be stripped, twisted, and tinned (optional) before insertion
into  the  BIG  SOUND.™   Use  the  electrical  tape  as  a
label for this pair.  Mark it "1."   Do the same with the
second  pair  of  power  input  wires,  cutting,  taping,  and
stripping the tail ends.  Label the second pair with a "2."

There are only two black wires for the cylinder chuff input, each wire entering into

the  connector  board through its  own  small  hole.    Cut  each  cylinder  wire  from the
board  and  then  tape  these  together,  once  again  leaving  a  tail  that  can  be  stripped,
twisted, and tinned in preparation for connecting to the BIG SOUND.™  Mark a "3" on
the tape securing this pair.

With the connector board removed, you have freed up extra room inside the tender

for sound kit components.
