Greetings,

Have an AFM I picked up several months ago that had a bunch of broken bulb sockets in the translite holder/assembly. Much of the wiring was just hanging loose as a result, which means the illumination was not very good, and I had to be very careful when removing the translite assembly to get into the head.

I’ve just finished replacing about 20 sockets, but I can’t find a reference anywhere on how the wiring should be routed. The one picture I found online shows a mass of cables coming in at the bottom of the translite, whereas mine has the cable/Molex zip-tied via two small holes on one side.

The flashers are easy enough to position - there are only 6 of them - but I’ve had zero luck trying to find the proper routing for the three other strands.

Anybody have an online reference to point to that shows normal wire routing, and which of the holes are/aren’t used, or can send me a picture of their setup for reference?

Thanks!

B-W/B = Brown wire and white wire with brown stripe
G-W/G = Green wire and white wire with green stripe
V-W/V = Violet wire and white wire with violet stripe

The gray sockets are flashers. The blue and yellow are GI. The yellow are originals and the blue were replacements I used. There are no diodes in the sockets as these are GI.

Hope this helps.

Perfect, thanks so much! This is exactly what I needed - appreciate the image!

Got everything back in place, and good to go.
