Re: 1972 Lightshow Question
Wait a minute...
...is this the same connector as used for US made Vox amp footswitches?
I don't have any from that family anymore (Super Beatle, Buckingham, etc.). Anyone here have one?

(Yes, it's probably not original...)
Re: 1972 Lightshow Question
IIRC, not all of the pins are connected ... if my brain (and hand ... and eyes) didn't hurt from initialing/dating over 1000 pages of data output today, I'd see if I had some more pictures ... zzzzz ....

Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

Re: 1972 Lightshow Question
6-pin appears out of stock (or production). Good thing I bought a spare!
Here’s the original style non-angled plug, still available, for you DIYers and completists:

Re: 1972 Lightshow Question
Perhaps someone here should take one for the team and buy a dozen of the right plugs and store them for when someone needs one in a couple of years. And no, it won't be me, as my 336LS (Paul W. built 331 lightshow with added Accent vibrato) has a built in power source that I use exclusively.
Re: 1972 Lightshow Question
Correct, only two of the pins are being used (#1 and #6).doctorwho wrote:IIRC, not all of the pins are connected ... if my brain (and hand ... and eyes) didn't hurt from initialing/dating over 1000 pages of data output today, I'd see if I had some more pictures ... zzzzz ....
So there are a variety of DIN plug styles that could be used for a 331, as long as male/female ends match.

Re: 1972 Lightshow Question
True true true - my suggestions were more in the event that a 331 is missing its power supply and needs a new one fabricated. The originals were six pin.collin wrote:Correct, only two of the pins are being used (#1 and #6).doctorwho wrote:IIRC, not all of the pins are connected ... if my brain (and hand ... and eyes) didn't hurt from initialing/dating over 1000 pages of data output today, I'd see if I had some more pictures ... zzzzz ....

But yes indeed, a new thing could be rigged up easily with no irreversible mods.
