Replacing Pots on Triton Le
Posted: Mon Feb 10, 2014 7:15 pm
If someone has opened up a Korg Triton Le and removed the boards inside, I would really appreciate some insight/direction.
Recently, the plastic shaft on one of the assignable pots sheared off. The repair didn't strike me as particularly difficult (famous last words), so I got a new pot and opened that Korg up. Needless to say, getting to the pot was harder than I imagined; however, I did get there, and I switched it out. The problem came with re-assmbly.
While pulling the parts out, I kept good track of all the screws, etc., even keeping different types in separate Ziploc bags. In general, wiring was not a problem because most of the wires are harnessed in plastic connectors. All but two, that is. These wires are a heavier gauge than the other wires and have terminal ends which are attached to the boards/chassis with screws. These came out while I was dis-assembling , and I missed their precise location. Now I am unsure where they go.
I have the Triton Le Service Manual, complete with schematics, but it does not give any color coding or wire gauge diagrams. This is really what I need to know where to attach these two rogue wires.
I fully expect some “should have taken it to a shop” comments. Point taken in advance. In the meantime, though, if anyone has something to point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it.
