Ok.....since this isn't going to be addressed in a serious manner in the hijacking thread....I thought I'd better ask this separately.

What I have:
Silo Spec pickups
silent circuit
copy of the silent circuit patent
silo spec HSS schematic from EBMM (thanks Lefty)

What I don't know:
What each wire on the silent circuit is....and/or where they're supposed to go.
Which terminal on each pickup goes where....hum has the wires, singles are just the pickups.

I guess I'm looking to be sure that I keep the hum and the singles in phase and how the heck to hook up this silent circuit thingy.

wire colors would be very helpful to know what the heck they are.

Help?

I'm sure you'll get an answer soon.....if not I'll take a photo of my HSS scratchplate tomorrow & post it here

the schematic you have . . is it the wiring diagram, or the switching schematic? the actual wiring diagram should have the wire names and colors and show you where they go. I don't have a copy here on my work computer, but I do have a copy at home.

It's more of a block diagram. No actual wires are shown. Lefty sent me 4 pdf's....2 were SSS, 2 were HSS and none showed wire colors.

the silent circuit is only used with the neck pickup switch position (5)
Jack, just copy the schematic toyour puter and let me know when you've done it so I can take it down.
