The full-color graphic of the build shows a single center lug on the back of the Contour switch, but there are two center lugs on the switch, named A and C.

Which lug goes to Lug 1 on Volume pot, and which goes to the location marked 131 on the graphic?

Mine is installed and hard to see but if I remember correctly "A" is used for the center lug. No connection to "C". Easy to verify with a Ohm meter.

Thanks Cigarman. I am using your photos as references during my build; jealous of your tube wiring!

Any idea where I connect the wire going to the point labeled "131" on the diagram? This is the top resistor at the extreme right of the main board.

On the contour switch diagram you see pins 7 thru 12 are all connected together? There is a text box that says "From EF86 pin 6" with an arrow pointing between pin 7 and 8. This is where I put the wire going to 131. I think you could solder the wire to any of the pins 7 - 12 as they are all connected together.

Thank you so much, CM! I was thinking I needed to run directly to Pin 6 on the EF86. Super-helpful to have your wisdom :-)
