Title: Tips for adding the teflon wire to the shield on the tone stack? Post by: cyndicate on June 01, 2010, 06:19:31 AM How do you guys add the teflon wire to the shielded wire? Any tips on doing so? Do you guys just unbraid the shield, then twist it and solder the teflon wire to it? Just making sure I'm doing it right.
As pictured here. (http://www.ceriatone.com/images/completeAmpsPic/Overtone_100/b4B.jpg) Title: Re: Tips for adding the teflon wire to the shield on the tone stack?

Post by: erwin_ve on June 01, 2010, 08:27:55 AM When using a wire stripper for the braided shield; only do the cut and move it up so there is a small part uncovered. That's were the teflon wire is soldered. Then put a small piece of heatshrink to cover it.
Added is a picture without the heatshrink added. Title: Re: Tips for adding the teflon wire to the shield on the tone stack?

That definitely helps, I've been doing it a way that took forever. This is definitely cleaner and easier to assemble. Title: Re: Tips for adding the teflon wire to the shield on the tone stack?

Sorry should have stated that the picture was from the Ceriatone sight of a completed Overtone. Was just finding the picture as a example. |
