Hello Everyone,

I'm putting my '700 together, and I'm at the very last step, but
something seems fishy. The instructions say to solder the white wire
for the CV In jack to the left lug of the jack, which seems right to
me. But then it says to solder the orange wire to the top
(Normalling) lug of the jack. The normalling lug is also supposed to
be connected to the beveled jack with a scrap resistor lead. My
question is, when one plugs a cable into this jack, won't it
disconnect ground from beveled jack? That seems wrong, doesn't it? Is
it? Why wouldn't you connect the orange wire to the beveled lug of
the jack? Is the beveled lug of the jack assumed to be grounded via
the front panel?
