Thraxster Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 (edited) Edit! So It seems it was the jack. Now, there's only one loose wire but two blobs of sloder on two prongs on the jack. Is the same wire slodered in two places? or is a wire missing or something? Edited May 12, 2004 by Thraxster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovekraft Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 You should have two wires connected to the output jack - the tip lug should connect to a wire from the selector switch, and the sleeve lug should connect to your ground point. These diagrams may help: WDUHH3T2201 WDUHH3T2202 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thraxster Posted May 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 How can you tell the difference between the tip and the sleeve lugs? There is now no wire on the jack (except for some stuck in solder) and the gray sleeved wire that came from it has a white sleaved wire coming out of it and threads of wire which aren't sleaved. Which do I solder to which? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovekraft Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 What you've got there is a shielded cable - the white wire is the hot lead, and the stranded wire around the outside is a braided shield. Connect the white wire to the tip lug and the shield to the sleeve lug. The sleeve lug is the one that is physically connected to the body of the jack (the tube the plug fits through), and the tip lug connects to the tall spring terminal that the plug tip snaps into when it seats. In this picture, the sleeve lug is on the left, and the tip lug is on the right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
