In all of these photos you can see the ground buss wire that is
soldered to the back of all the pots. You will need at least a 40 watt iron to
do this. I start at the last pot at the right end. Notice the upper right photo.
You can see the ground buss wire starts in the right hand lug of the pot then
goes across the back of the pot. Then it makes a bend where it is soldered to
the back of the 5KL presence pot. From there it continues in a straight line all
the way down the line to the back of every pot. At the left end of the pot
harness I leave extra wire hanging out so that the ground buss wire can be
soldered to a ground lug on an input jack. Next I
connect all the grounds from the pots to the ground buss. Look at the photo on
the upper left. There is a short piece of buss wire that goes from the right
hand tab on the pot over to the ground buss wire.
In the photo, I have it labeled as
Ground-->. I stick the buss
wire through the pot hole and then make a small loop around the ground buss
wire. Then both ends of the ground wire are soldered and the wire is snipped off
flush at the pot tab. There are 4 pots in the 5F6A pot harness that need these
ground wires added. Look at the layout diagram above.
Next I install any caps that are attached to the pots. In the
upper left photo and the upper right photo there is a cap on each pot. On the
presence cap I do not solder the right hand tab until the cap and the ground
wire are installed.
Next I install any white connect wires that go from pot to
pot. In the layout diagram above you can see that there needs to be two
interconnect wires. One is from the 250KL treble pot to the 1MA bass pot and the other is
from the 1MA bass pot over to the 25KL mid pot. I use white 20 gauge wire for this. White
is the color I use for signal type wires. The upper center photo shows these
connect wires.
Now your pot harness is done. Undo all the nuts and remove the
pot harness from the jig. |
