Mercury magnetics pt wiring issues

Post by charvel pointy head » Sat Sep 29, 2007 7:02 pm

Um have the diagram, but the wires on this do not match. ON the input side have an orange, rec, purple, blue and GREEN (what is this?) on the other side, 2 black (ac heater wires) yellow, grey, blue w/ white stripe (B+?) white and green (bias?) but then 2 brown wires ( not accounted for on the diagram

Also there is NO green/black centertap/ground. Now what is up here? Anyone have a clue about the 2 Brown wires? Also the blue wire w/ white stripe, is that a b+ wire? these wires just don't compute.

Please advise

Hey charvel pointy head, I had the same questions when I built my amp. Yes, your assumptions where right, the blue/grey wire is a b+ wire. White & green wires are the bias wires, & the other green wire is the centertap/ground wire.The two brown wires are not needed, I forgot what George said they were used for, but just cut them & shrink wrap them together. Good luck with your build :D

ok, at the risk of seeming stupid, which green is the center tap and which is part of the bias supply? Should I presume that the green on the input side is center tap and the green on the other side is the bias. I wish I could figure out how these wires correspond to the Heyboer tranny. Any help on that one?

Looks like both green's go to ground anyway, so I guess that solves that issue. Got another one I just discovered. check my other post.
