Title: Heathkit IO-12 Loose wire
Post by: Davemiller1985 on December 12, 2024, 09:10:13 pm
hi, i recently got this heathkit IO-12 from my father and was cleaning the pots when i noticed a wire had come loose. it is a black wire coming from the horizontal gain knob. i do not know where i can find this on the diagram or where it may go. i have attached 3 pictures in hopes that someone can help me. i have also attached a diagram of the area nearby the pot and the whole diagram.

edit: i have learned that this device has been open possibly multiple times as it came from a school/college.

Difficult to see, but I think the wire is coming from the counter-clockwise (CC) end of the Horizontan Gain. In which  case it should go to ground - 0V. It might have been connected to the chassis.
