 I don’t have a Master Volume in this amp,
but if I wanted one, this is how I would do it.

PPIMV mod
1. Remove two 470K grid resistors.
2. Relocate .0047µF cap to pots.
3. Connect PPIMV ground to PA Gnd.
4. Use shielded cable if wires are long.

 INSTRUCTIONS FOR PRINTING DRILL GUIDE

Turret --- drill size is 3/32" Board size is 3 1/8" X 5 3/8". Print this drill guide FULL SIZE on letter sized paper.
Use one template as a drill guide. The other template will be used for installing
Standoff – drill size to fit jumpers. Measure the board length of the printout to verify it is 5 3/8". Attach to blank
board using double sided carpet tape. Use a center punch to put a mark at the cross
Hole for wire pass thru – drill size to fit hairs of each turret, standoff, and hole. Use a 3/32" drill bit to drill all holes. Then
enlarge holes as needed for screws and wire pass thru.
Dashed lines are underboard jumpers
