Simple Hand Wiring Notes for Mag-PUp Switching.

If you want to fill an empty hole after a mod you may want to un-stack the Piezo volume and tone
control using two new 10k pots. Finding a satisfactory set of matching knobs becomes the hard part.

0) Remove Tapes “A” & “B”: Un-Solder and remove the flex-tape headers A & B and rewire into newly emptied holes.

1) Remove Master Volume: Make mods shown for “Tape A”, the (2) 10k resistors and the jumpers off them.
Add (2) two 1/8th watt 10k resistors where shown. 10k “a” pin1 to “a” pin4, and 10k “a” pin3 to “a” pin6.
Loop the resistor leads back up from the back side to make the two jumpers.
Jump “a” pin1 to “a” pin5, and then jump “a” pin2 to “a” pin3.

2) Remove 3-way mag/piezo switch: Simply remove it.

3) Remove Mono/Stereo “Red” button: Remove it and jump “b” pin8 to “b” pin9.

3) Replace funky input/power switch jack: Use a HQ barrel input jack with the traditional sleeve contact for
grounding the battery to the circuit. Connect mag-out(5) to pin “tip”.

Check the pinout on your mag switch to logic. Create your own truth table for any switch you are contemplating the
use of. They are not all the same. Understand the coil tapping being accomplished and adjust wiring as needed.

With all the mods done correctly you will still have all the basic functions except stereo output.
No master volume, blend using piezo and mag. volume knobs, or use a volume peddle.
No mag/piezo switch, both always on. Balance full output blend level with the existing on-board trim pot.
No stereo output. Just a good solid mono plug with power-on ground wiring.

Now find a good hardware store and get some nice black-vinyl snap-in caps to finish up and your done.
Note you may need a couple of different size plugs depending on what you have removed.
