Default Philips 790A/Mullard MAS4 Tagboard Connections

I have noted that the location of various tagboard connections are different on my radio to that of the Trader Sheet (please see above General Notes heading).

Should I replace as per the sheet or leave as found?

I have just realised that there are 8 tags (with connecting wires) on my 790a set, which is one more tag than on the MAS4 service sheet, so may be best to reconnect the way I found it.

You're probably right to reconnect as-found, assuming the set was working beforehand and/or the tag wires were not showing signs of recent disturbance. To be absolutely certain it oughtn't to be difficult to trace where the tag wires go to and verify that the destinations are correct when compared to the circuit diagram. Sorry if I'm stating the obvious! Cheers, Jerry
