Another AVO MK4 valve tester thread
 
Hello everyone,

I'm currently restoring a mk4 that was in battle scarred condition, upon re-installing all the front panel rotary switches (was a struggle in the cramped space) I've noticed 4 snapped wire's.

There is a snapped red lead on the last wafer/deck of the electrode switch, the grey lead from one side of contacts of A1/A2 dp switch and a white lead on the mains switch.

Would anyone happen to have a picture of the internal sides of the rotary switches showing where these lead connections for these wires go to?

Thanks,

Ok, bit of an update. Worked out where the white lead of the mains switches goes to, straight to the set mains rotary. Still trying to work out what connector a broken red wire from R38 24kohm resistor goes to and the grey wire from the unlimited/anode1-2 toggle switch connects to on the electrode selector switch.

Here is a picture:

Note the red lead close to each near the switch.

Update to this thread, traced the wires and fixed the issue by a photo provided to me elsewhere.
