Worklist:
Whatever it was supposed to be soon went out of the window!
No Laurence this week.
Before they could get started on anything, Stephen and Geoff discussed the state of the wiring inside the control panel and how it was making wire-paths difficult to trace. Geoff floated the idea of rewiring the box - or at least the mess in the bottom of the box - and Stephen readily agreed. Geoff also floated the idea of replacing the soldered brass pins with two rows of standard connector blocks, and of using boot lace ferrules on the wires to connect them together. It didn't need any discussion - work started. And work continued until it was finished.
The connector strips were fitted into the spaces either side of the central plywood and brass pin 'connector strip'. Slowly, the wires were transferred over (and careful records taken).

What a transformation.
A typical set with ferrules and the amazing square crimper.
