And took the AC neutral run from out of the lower bundle and run it up north, got er figured out.

This batch of heatsinks have the extreme top and bottom mounting holes way off. Looks like .030 at least. The holes between these extremes would have gone with no problem. Always something....

 

[Gepetto]

Finally figured out what you did under the heatshrink. You co-joined the shields and lenghtened with the black wire...

Correct Lee. That neatens it up an makes it strain relieved.

 

[laatsch55]

I agree Joe, a sweet wiring job..

Yes, that picture shows pretty clearly how all the AC wires break out. The lower run inside the tubing heads directly for the faceplate where I keep it low and head left over to the AC switch. It is important to have a gazinta and a gazouta on the AC wiring paired together to provide the canceling field.

 

[laatsch55]

Can the AC going to the switch(faceplate) be broke out and bundled by itself? Or was that what you were referring to?

Yes you can see that in the 3rd picture Lee. Look at the lower right of the photo and you will see the 2 jacketed wires running to the faceplate switch breaking out right at the fuseholder.

Black wire comes off the fuseholder , enters the loom, goes to the switch, comes back from switch inside the same loom exits at the fuse holder and continues on to the accessory receptacle..

Correct Lee.

No gold star and a pat on the head??

Absolutely Lee. Sorry was running off to do something.

 

[laatsch55]

Thats better.......

Dressing that way allows you to come straight out to the front of the chassis, take a hard left along the front panel and run along the front panel and up to the switch.

 

[laatsch55]

I like that idea, keeping that out of the meter wire bundle..

 

[laatsch55]

A little progress now that we have music..

 

[laatsch55]

Had to do some switch surgery. Ine of the tabs on the Direct/Normal coupling sweitch had one of the tabs "rolled" out so the slider nubbin was cockeyed. Took the switch apart relocated the tab with some strategic bends and popp[ed it back together. It now has that "snap" of a properly detented switch. Lee 1--amp --0

They used such cheap ass components in these PL amps, makes you wonder what they were thinking.

 

[laatsch55]

A world famous amp derailed by a 3.00 switch, indeed what were they thinking..

You are being generous Lee, I put that switch in the 50 to 75 cent category of cheap.

 

[laatsch55]

Yeah, el cheapo as you can get and still work....
