Paging Paul W.

Post by blueroommusic »

Hey Paul,

I've heard that you're the man when it comes to Rickys! Can you help me out with a 331LS wiring diagram? Two small wires are loose at the main light control and I'm not sure where they should go? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Gear page? URL, please...I dislike being ignorant, yet spend much of my time in the dark.

I'm currently (pun intended) working on a wiring diagram, for a Series 2, because RIC doesn't have one. If you can post a good closeup photo of the broken wires, I may be able to help you. If these are the two power wires coming off the DIN socket, it's an easy fix, but I still need much more info and a photo is the best way.

Hey Paul,

Here's the pic of the wires in question. It's going to be one grey wire and one blue wire that's disconnected. Thanks for the help!Image

I know about the gear page. I misread your email and thought you had posted pictures there, and couldn't find them. That's why I asked for a URL.

Craig, from the photo, it looks like these should be soldered back onto the two empty lugs on the sensitivity pot. If you find that the pot doesn't actually work after you've soldered the wires, simpy reverse the blue and gray wires. Should work then.

Simple enough... I didn't want to short anything out if it wasn't hooked up properly. Thanks again, I really appreciate your help.

Should have said, "misread your post", Nick. The brief one above mentioning the gear page.

Just to be absolutely clear on this... :wink:
