Yes that is fine thanks
Can you get a piece of wire and connect the bottom left hand speaker tag to the right hand transformer tag, whilst playing a record.

Does the brown wire from the right hand transformer tag already go to the bottom left hand speaker tag (also brown wire)?

the brown wire from the speaker goes to the pcb and the brown wire from the transformer also goes straight to the pcb.
do you still want me to connect the wire up?

Well find out where that left hand wire goes because one speaker should connect across the 2 outside tags of the output transformer we can see that the left hand tag does but those 2 wires I feel should be joined. perhaps they both go to chassis via some print.

the wire connects underneath the pcb. ignore the holes in the solder, they have been corrected.

This is such a simple circuit and yet you are still struggling, so why don't you get some help from this Forum as there are a number of Members up there in the North East? You are now on your 7th page and it's been going on far too long! Edward

That brown wire referenced in post #134 must be connected to something. It looks like it's connected to the resistor immediately to its right in post #130. If so, where does the other end of the resistor connect to?
