Subterranean wire routing

Post by MooreCowbelle »

Anyone have a good diagram of the B+ wiring under the Express board? Just wondering how it is routed under the components. Looking at the Franchesca pics, I can see peeks of wire through the holes in the board, but nothing definitive.

MC use this layout for the underwire connections. Run them straight across the bottom.

Actually MC, try the other forum. Seems my ability to upload on this one has been suspended. Maybe Hogy's in charge!

Allynmey,
I would appreciate if you asked me to look into the upload issue before making comments like this. I have not suspended anyone's account nor have I blocked anyone's ability to upload files.

Troublemaker! :D

BTW, thanks for the head cab dimensions a while back. Jeff Swanson is making me a tolex cab for my Express-style build

I think this is the diagram that Allyn's talking about. (Upload seems to have a pixel size limit for images so it's just a link to my host.)

Seems to work ok. The only restriction on file uploads are size (5MB) and file type but since JPG's are allowed.

Are you guys getting an error when you try to upload?

I get a message that says the image must be smaller than 600x400.

Back on topic...
I spent some time studying the reflections in the posted images. It looks like the B+ wires under the main board are routed along the third row of holes -- counted from edge of the board closest to the tubes.

The clearest view of this can be found in the image DSC01166.jpg that is included with the Franchesca pictures.

I just took mine the shortest distance between the turrets on the PS side of the board to their destination turret.
