Thanks pete, I'll try a few combinations once I get into a "testbed" state. The wire connectors are kinda cool, they come from allelectronics.com pre wired (so no crimping necessary, although it would be cool to drop some nice connectors onto some pickups in general.) 2 wire 3 wire 4 wire Think there's a 6 in there too.

Well, I gave up on my initial problem of missing wiring clips. Can't seem to find replacements anywhere. Instead I picked up some wire-wire clips to take the place of the missing ones. So far so good.. Back to the driver. Here's what it looks like right now. When I got it, the white lead was as is, and the others were flying. I trimmed back the sleeve to reattach the red & shield to the only other solder point that looked like it had been used. Between the red/shield and white, I get 6.3 Ohms I'm assuming this was the original wire, and that the black wire from the wiring clip is just shrink tube over the shield. So what would really help right now is if someone could take a measurement between the white pin and the outer pins on a working fsk-401 driver to see if there's a reading, and also if there's no resistance between the outer pins of the wiring clip. To do that without having to disassemble anything, test between the solder points on the top left of the board as it is in my first pic. The points that correspond to the red & yellow wires, and yellow and black wires should give a resistance, and the points between red & black should give no resistance. Thanks

Ah, shoulda mentioned I had the 401. oh well, thanks for trying. good luck with your missing pot.

Thanks, but it was the back of the actual pickup/driver I need (The single coil lookin' geezer that emits the sustaining homotrons). it looks like there's four solder points, with orange and red wires criscrossed. a pic of the back of that unit will show me where to solder the red black and white wires. I'd post a pic of what I have, but I suspect it's so far off base from what it's supposed to be that I'd just be embarrassing myself

The missing one is 104 on my board, the others match. The directions don't show what I need, just that 3 wires come from the driver. I need to see the back of the driver so I can see where those wires are attached.

I picked up a used sustainer a while back. It was complete in terms of parts, but I don't think the guy was too careful uninstalling it. Had to resolder the wires to the back of the driver unit. When I got it all back together, I didn't get anything out of it and I'm pretty sure it's the driver part that's bungled. Could anyone post a pic of the back of their fernandes driver and maybe describe the pinout to the connector? Thanks

If I was going to keep this, I'd want to redo it, and I've got plenty of stuff on the go atm anyway. vitals: 3lb 14oz Swamp Ash (lighter than mahogany, with a pronounced grain pattern) Routed for 2 Humbucker pickups Drilled for Tune-o-matic bridge & Stop tailpiece (Includes Angled Neck Pocket for gibson style bridge) with 25.5 Scale length Contoured Heel Option http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...E:IT&ih=016

So for my first post* I figure I should ask a Sustainer question I need to get some replacement molex plugs, but I can't seem to find anything that really matches on the jameco and mouser type sites. Don't think I'm looking under the right category... They're 2, 3 and 4 pin connectors and I measured the distance between pins at 0.093" or 2.36mm (That's the "pitch", right?) Anyone know part numbers and such? or what additional info do I need to get in order to figure it out? Thanks (*as it turns out, it's my third, but I don't remember the other two )

Nice, I like all the chrome parts. Any idea how you're going to do the finishing?

Hi, I'm a newbie here but I've got several projects on the go, and now it's warm enough out in the garage I can actually finish them Here's a page I threw together with some Before/During/After photos of my latest rescue. Dean Edge Q4 Rebuild
