Leslie 720 - 11 Pin Connector Problem

[dannicdem]

Greetings to all the Forum Experts

After adding an 11 pin Y-adapter my Leslie 720, it stopped working and would not power up. I removed the rear panel and discover that if I jiggle the wire on the 5 pin near the connector, the Leslie would briefly turn on. My conjecture is that the wire in the 5 pin has come lose however when testing it by pulling on it all seems fine. I think something needs to be soldiered but can't figure out where!

Can anyone advise a specific solution to this problem?

Thanks to the experts for your time and talents.

Best!

On 11 pin models believe pins 5/6 are used to turn the speaker on, when the organs is powered on it connects them together so leslie switches on. It sounds like your correct and there is an iffy connection on a pin, hopefully someone else might advise on how to fix I've never done anything on 11 pin leslie connections.

did you take your plug socket covers off the ends of the "Y" and check out the wire attachments at each terminal point to make sure none have broken loose?

To eliminate cable as an issue, I reverted back to the original 11 pin cable the worked perfectly. The problem seems to be inside the connector (see photo) if I jiggle the wire on pin 5 (green) the power comes on momentarily. So, it's a loose connection but I just can't see anything.



Thanks for looking!!!
