<VV> Radio Wiring Puzzler

[aircooled6@prodigy.net]

Hi Michael,

The outside prong is power.  The other two are speakers.  Usually, there was
a three hole plug that matched that receptacle on the radio, but if someone
did some "customizing"......


So, the power wire on lates is yellow and the speaker wires are green.  I
don't recall on the earlies.

Hope that helps.
