The chassis wiring gets installed in 3 stages, starting with routing and connecting the leads from 3 transformers (power, vertical output, and CRT filament) previously installed on the chassis, and running various individual wires between different points as instructed. These are individually cut to length from bulk wire, stripped, routed, and connected.
The second stage of chassis wiring involves the installation of prefabricated wiring harnesses and multiple Molex type connectors used to connect to components mounted off-chassis. The CRT socket harness is also installed at this point.
Finally, all the chassis mounted electronic components (resistors, caps, diodes, etc.) are put into place and soldered. All together, the chassis wiring was completed in 4 bench sessions, totaling around 9 hours. Easily the most demanding work of the project so far.
The pictures attached here are from the early stages of chassis wiring. More to come...
