V-M wiring
Posted: Sun Aug 18, 2024 3:52 am
While we. are talking about changers, I'll ask again. My freebie Home-Mark console has a V-M changer, more or less a 1265 model. It has a #$*&!! Molex power connector and the wires pulled out of the Molex. @#(*&%!!!! Do not push my Molex button. They are the Yugo of the connector designs.
There are three wires. As I understand it, one is neutral, one is always-on hot so the changer can complete its shut-down cycle if the power is turned off at the radio/amp chassis, and on is on/off with the radio/amp.
Problem is, the wires from the radio/amp are not color-coded. They are all blue.
If somebody has a 1200 later series, could you do a photo showing which power wire is which?
When I'm visiting the console, as I did today, I usually don't have a good VOM with me, and a visual guide would be a help t getting the wires back where they belong without undue excitement.
