[TowerTalk] HAM M SERIES INTERNAL LUG WIRE COLOR PIN OUT

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

Beware!  The colors are  not all the same.  Trace the circuit 
and never trust the colors.  The circuit is not that complex 
and is relatively easy to trace since you're really looking 
at: two wires for the brake (1 & 2), rotate left (6), rotate 
right (5), pot (3 & 7) and capacitor (4 & 8).  

73,
