I know, and I just cut them close to the soldering joint. It sure
helped! When racked you see the inside from the top of the unit since
the cover is removed. I climbed in behind my massive rack and removed
the back panel screws to get room for the cutter.

No, it was the resistors pulling the signal down. My wiring is correct
and has worked for years... Simmons was british, hence everything is a
bit "exotic". The way we all like it! :)
