Beomaster 1600 Type 17XX Power Switch Wiring

[jfrancis49]

Hello All,

I am switching out the largest board on the Beomaster 1600 with the tractor tread design from a donor machine, and have un-soldered the power cord gray wires and the two white wires that go to the power switch. I forgot to mark which side of the switch the white wires go and gray power cord wires go regarding the right and left switch terminals. I know the white wires go in back of the switch of the grey power ones are in the front toward the button. I realized after un-soldering them that it might matter which wires go on the right terminals and which on the left.

Any help would be appreciated?

For the white leads going to the transformer it doesn’t matter which one sits left or right.

Thanks for that Martin. Does it matter with the grey power wires which goes right or left?

That depends on the territory version, as some have polarized mains plugs and capacitive
decoupling to chassis in accordance with local regulations.

If your mains plug can be plugged into the wall outlet any side up, it’s safe to swap the leads.
If you have a three-prong mains plug that cannot be reversed, or your mains plug for
some other reason can only be plugged in one way, you should keep the mains leads in their original positions.
