## Connections

1. Neck GREEN runs across the top and down to the volume casing (top solder dot). → Neck GREEN runs across the top and down to the volume casing (top solder dot). (wire, green)
2. Neck BARE runs with the green to the volume casing. → Neck BARE runs with the green to the volume casing. (wire, bare)
3. Bridge BLACK runs right and up, then along to the volume casing (lower solder dots). → Bridge BLACK runs right and up, then along to the volume casing (lower solder dots). (wire, black)
4. Bridge BARE runs up and along to the volume casing (lower solder dots). → Bridge BARE runs up and along to the volume casing (lower solder dots). (wire, bare)
5. Bridge GREEN runs under the switch and up to the second lug of the bottom-row right group. → Bridge GREEN runs under the switch and up to the second lug of the bottom-row right group. (wire, green)
6. Medium-gray wire from the fourth lug of the top-row left group up and across to the volume casing (lower right dot). → Medium-gray wire from the fourth lug of the top-row left group up and across to the volume casing (lower right dot). (wire, black)
7. Black loop from the volume casing (top dot) over to the volume top lug. → Black loop from the volume casing (top dot) over to the volume top lug. (wire, black)
8. Black wire from the volume top lug right (ground symbol) and down the right side to the jack sleeve. → Black wire from the volume top lug right (ground symbol) and down the right side to the jack sleeve. (wire, black)
9. TO BRIDGE GROUND line ends at the jack sleeve, which also carries a ground symbol. → TO BRIDGE GROUND line ends at the jack sleeve, which also carries a ground symbol. (wire, black)
10. Neck BLACK runs down the middle to the lone left-end lug of the switch top row (pole A common); a gap where it passes the bridge leads means no joint. → Neck BLACK runs down the middle to the lone left-end lug of the switch top row (pole A common); a gap where it passes the bridge leads means no joint. (wire, black)
11. Neck WHITE runs down to the third lug of the top-row left group. → Neck WHITE runs down to the third lug of the top-row left group. (wire, white)
12. Neck RED runs down to the third lug of the top-row right group. → Neck RED runs down to the third lug of the top-row right group. (wire, red)
13. Bridge WHITE runs under the switch and up to the first lug of the bottom-row right group. → Bridge WHITE runs under the switch and up to the first lug of the bottom-row right group. (wire, white)
14. Bridge RED runs under the switch and up to the same second lug of the bottom-row right group. → Bridge RED runs under the switch and up to the same second lug of the bottom-row right group. (wire, red)
15. Short black jumper under the top row from the third to the fifth lug of the left group. → Short black jumper under the top row from the third to the fifth lug of the left group. (wire, black)
16. Thin black wire from the fifth lug of the top-row left group over to the second lug of the top-row right group. → Thin black wire from the fifth lug of the top-row left group over to the second lug of the top-row right group. (wire, black)
17. Thin black wire from that second top-row right lug down to the fourth lug of the bottom-row right group. → Thin black wire from that second top-row right lug down to the fourth lug of the bottom-row right group. (wire, black)
18. Red jumper along the top row from the third to the fourth lug of the right group. → Red jumper along the top row from the third to the fourth lug of the right group. (wire, red)
19. The same red jumper continues to the fifth lug of the right group. → The same red jumper continues to the fifth lug of the right group. (wire, red)
20. Dark-gray jumper on the bottom row from the first to the third lug of the right group. → Dark-gray jumper on the bottom row from the first to the third lug of the right group. (wire, black)
21. Light-gray jumper down the right side joining the lone right-end lugs of the top and bottom rows (commons). → Light-gray jumper down the right side joining the lone right-end lugs of the top and bottom rows (commons). (wire, white)
22. Light-gray wire from the top-row right-end lug up the right side to the volume bottom lug. → Light-gray wire from the top-row right-end lug up the right side to the volume bottom lug. (wire, white)
23. Medium-gray wire from the volume middle lug down to the jack tip. → Medium-gray wire from the volume middle lug down to the jack tip. (wire, black)

## What each position does



- The catalog selector model does not reach the output jack on every drawn throw (selectionReachesTip); position labels follow the source sheet, not a verified simulation table.
- Some coil grounds reach the jack sleeve only through the drawn coil network (groundsReachSleeve); topology is transcribed as shown.
- Series-link wires sit on the signal path as drawn; the engine rejects that topology (seriesLinkIsolated) but the transcription matches the manufacturer diagram.
