LED On/Off pilot light install for Warneck Research Wurlitzer amplifiers
Models: EP-200, 200A & 140X

Difficulty level: basic soldering and hand tool skills required

Tools required:
•  Soldering iron (recommended temperature controlled!)
• .032" diameter 63/37 Solder (included with kit)
•  Diagonal wire cutters
•  13/64" drill bit & hand drill
•  Optional: de-burring tool, larger bit or file to de-burr thru-hold

For the technically inclined materials
• 5MM LED
• 5.6-10K ½ watt resistor (less resistance = brighter led)
• 22-24ga stranded hookup cable
Or if you've purchased a pre-assembled kit, proceed as follows
Instructions:
1.   Locate "Varivib" section on amplifier circuit board
2.   Solder Black wire to black solder point
3.   Solder Resistor/Red wire to red on varivib
(Note: don't bridge or jump pads with solder blobs!!
soldering iron temperature should not exceed 700° Fahrenheit, or 375°C)
4.   Remove Neon bulb, cut brown wires from terminal strip with fuse.
(be careful not to cut fuse or transformer leads)

5.   Drill 13/64" hole
