## Specific to this wiring

- Mini-toggle tags mapped by function from the catalog contact table where the source leaves them unlabelled.
- Revision 3: Mid Tone 250k is wired so the knob is bright at 10 and darkest at 0. Before, the feed and the cap sat on the opposite end lugs, so the tone ran backwards (full cut at 10).
