!941 zenith 12S568 wiring help needed
#1

Hi guy's,
I made the mistake of buying a 1941 12S568 with crumbling wire up the hind in.
Main question is how the tone control is wired?
Wires are totally toast on this thing.
Can't hardly even tell l what the colors were. The coating is gone and what little bit is left is so discolored and faded its hard to tell one from the other.
Looks like we are dealing with black, brown, red, yellow, green, blue, and some other faded out color on the normal push button.
I have run new wire on the bottom side after removing the rotten shielded wire harness that zenith used then.
The push button wiring is not at all clear to me seeing as my schematic reading skills are lacking.
Would be great if someone had the time to look at the schematic and tell me where the leads go from the bottom side to the appropriate tone push button.
I know its asking a lot, but I could really use some expert advice on this one.
I am planning on wrapping a single wire around the harness and attaching it to chassis ground to maybe help with interference.
I made a sketch of the control panel with the push buttons labeled.
Most of my other Zenith consoles did not shield the whole harness like they did on this one. Much easier to replace crumbling wires on the others.
Everyone have a great 4th of July.
