Hi,

So I started building the Quickie tonight!  The battery holders, rca jacks, tube sockets, rotary switch, and potentiometer are installed.  It looks like the terminal strips have a hole on the top, and one on the bottom??  Do I connect the wires to the holes on the top, the ones on the bottom, or both??  Thanks!

Dave

You skipped a bit of reading in the manual...

More specifically, page 16. Last paragraph. Highlighted in red.

I'm a little confused-the step I just finished was connecting the middle black wire to the input ground on the b side.  That is page 15 in my manual-there is no highlighting in red on page 16??  Thanks,

Dave

Hmm, it looks like there's a missing page or two in the Quickie manual!

In the manual, you will see terminals called out like 4U and 10L.  The "U" is for upper, the "L" is for lower.

We'll notify the technical writer to adjust the text.

Apologies, I was looking at the wrong manual. It does appear that the pertinent info is missing from our current version of the quickie manual.
