Neon Indicator Wiring?

Post by theSeeker »

Oops, I didn't pay attention to how the neons were wired on my DR201. Do they have specific polarity? For reference, I can see which wire is attached to the internal resistor.

They're A/C lamps, so no polarity is involved. Here's a pic from my SA212, before I replaced its neons. Should be similar to your DR201.

EDIT: Note that my SA212 had a Polarity switch, so your wiring will be slightly different.

Ah doof! Pre-rectifier, that makes perfect sense. :oops: I should have thought it through, Thanks Dave.

You can see it all clearly in this picture:

Dave's combo has somewhat different wiring.
