Jim R.:
Doc,

In the section pasted below, wouldn't it be more consistent and a little les potentially confusing to call the "center terminal" T3 instead?:

Nine pin socket A wiring
You will now install the two LEDs that set the bias voltage of the input tube. These
LEDs have a
silver band at one end of the red body. It is absolutely critical that they are installed
with this silver
band connected to the proper terminal.
( ) Attach the silver band end lead of one LED to the center terminal of the nine
pin socket A. Don

Doc B.:
"Center terminal" means the center terminal right in the middle of the nine pin socket, not T3.

Jim R.:
Ok, just looked at the socket -- never saw a 9-pin socket like that.  What is this connected to as I don't see any other connections listed in the manual for this point?

Just trying to understand what is probably very obvious to everybody else.

Paul Birkeland:
The center pin of the socket isn't connected to anything internal to the tube, but in the manual you will eventually run a wire from that terminal to terminal 3 (ground).

Jim R.:
Ok, but that sort of brings us back to where I started :D.

I just didn't see the words "center terminal anywhere else in the manual except with regard to the RCAs and in the checkout section.

Thanks for the clarification,

Jim
