    Yes, that's what I was talking about and the portion of the picture I clipped and enlarged to show that. What the pic didn't show was what Rob has on his website, an explanation of the additions and subtractions in his original pic.

    And there is the culprit, the bottom of the original pic was cut off. That's the part that says to remove the blue lines and replace the blue parts. Thanks for finding that, now I can finish the schematic.

    I think I found the source: https://robrobinette.com/AB763_Modif...le_AB763_Mods_

    Looks like one of the "Dumble cool mods". Unfortunately no schematic.

    There are photos in the first post, I don't know where they came from other than Dandrix posted them. I was trying to draw a schematic from that layout but was confused by the light colored wires showing the original connections, but instead of assuming they were left there by mistake I was hoping someone knew for sure that they should have been removed from that layout - or - the creator should have said "don't use the original wiring that is light-colored". I'm simply looking for clarification.

    The previous comments weren't directed toward you, they were directed toward whoever drew that layout.

    Unfortunately no source mentioned in post #1.

    If the old wiring is to be ignored it should have been removed. It's not that hard.
    Don't tell me. I was just guessing. Need a real schematic of the intended changes to be sure.
    Do you know what's the purpose of the mod?

    Your interpretation of the layout looks wrong. I think the blue (original) wiring is meant to be ignored. Where did you find the mod?

    Dunno what you mean. The red wiring in the layout shows only the right side mid pot lug grounded. Is there a schematic?

    If you tested the cicuit mounted on cardboard (as in the pictures) you might be missing some ground connection via the amp's chassis.

    I have very little volume ( sounds like it’s on three). It’s wired according to the layout (pictured). I have very little experience with this style pot and was hoping someone could fast track me on to wire this mod using a push-pull pot. Thanks dan

    the dude,
    i using a push pull switch. not a separate slider switch and independent 1ma volume pot. because that is what the layout is showing. Clearly

    I don't get this. The mod is clearly drawn out in the layout diagram. Is there something specific you don't understand?
