Ok, so I bought this pre-amp from a TB'er for a project a while back and now that I've started it, I'm up against it with successfully connecting this. I'm pretty sure I can create/have created good connections for the pups and grounding but the switch and...well, most of the rest I'm missing something(s). Can't get it to make a sound. It's a legit part (I think) and so should work if connected to pups (Sadowsky 5's). Any and all information appreciated in advance. I know this is from quite a while ago but counting on a few good memories - those who worked with these??? Signed - over my head apparently.

I believe that's correct Warpeg thanks! I haven't hooked it up fully yet, sourced the connectors and think I've got an idea on the switch (top pic on the very right) but not sure. going cautiously

Thanks PBB - I have pieced together wire connectors (individually - hope that's not too much of a hassle!) but havne't been able to find the actual quick-connect(s) to make this easier / correct. I'll have to figure out the grounding area(s).

Can you show us some good close up photos of the connectors on the board? Also can you precisely measure the pin spacing (ideally with a caliper, not a ruler)? I bet we can find you the connectors.

Worst case, solder your wires directly to the pins in the connectors, or to the solder pads that the pins are soldered to (i.e. on the opposite side of the board). Or desolder the connectors and solder wires into the holes in the pcb.
