Re: Ambassador 545
Tags are metal terminals designed to have wires wrapped around them and soldered. They come in quite a few forms. Under many radios you'll find Tagstrip, a length of SRBP composite insulation material with a row of terminals riveted to it. The terminals may stick out sideways and be pressed shapes having loops for the connected wires and components to anchor onto. Turret tags are round and stick up from the insulation like mini castle towers.
Some components have tags as well. Valve holders let the valve plug in on the top and have a ring of tags sticking out underneath to take wires and wire-ended components.
Transformers often have rows of tags for the connections to their windings. Cheaper ones may have wires coming out right from the inside of the winding stack. Switches often have tags for all their connections.
