Re: TR7 Getting ready to sell. But have to deal with the dastardly DR7 board again. I thought.


 

Did you notice that four pin connector layout was designed to be impossible to accidentally reverse the polarity? It plugs in either way with the correct connections. It's a little subtlety that I overlooked for probably thirty years...

There's a four-pin connector for power on that board. Only two of the

I got a new connector, and wired up all four pins. More secure.
