Mark, For sure, the hot wire should immediately go to the fuse upon entering the AC4 chassis. I believe that the correct place for it is the "tip" of the fuse holder.

I used the original strain relief, but carefully cut some of the plastic out of the original, just enough to accomodate the round cord. They all worked great. One thing I did not consider (and I need to go back and look), is the hot lead of the AC cord being on the fuse. I suppose for safety reasons I should have??? 73, Mark N5KAE From: Gary Poland <[email protected]> To: John Gartman <[email protected]>; DrakeList Zerobeat <[email protected]> Sent: Thu, January 19, 2012 8:43:08 PM Subject: Re: [Drakelist] AC-4 John, As you suggested it would be easiest to just cut it off at the strain relief and re-terminate inside. You will only lose about 6 to 8 inches at best. 73, Gary -----Inline Attachment Follows----- _______________________________________________ Drakelist mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist
