Ah, it all comes back to me now. That yellow wire is soldered to the base of the first (left most) station light, and when the light socket is pushed into position in the metal holder, it supplies the 6-volt feed to all the other station lights through the bases. They are grounded through the colored wires when the correct station position on the rotary switch is reached (through ground #81).
