Yes, I should know this, but... can somebody confirm where the loose end of the yellow wire in this picture should be soldered? (coming from the spinner microswitch). I'm guessing the switch just to the left in the picture, on the lug with the single yellow wire? Thanks!

Maybe, follow the yellow wire to the next switch and so on until you come to a green wire. Does it have a blue stripe, if yes then connect it, if no the its not the correct switch.

The yellow wire is daisy chained to the lead of the standup target directly to its left. Just solder it onto the lead with the other yellow wire. See picture:

Wow - you guys are on the ball! And Grumpy, yes, the yellow wire on the adjacent switch goes to another switch lug which has two green w/ blue wires soldered to it, which is also the spinner switch column's wire color. Thanks everybody!

Just wanted to say thanks for this thread!!!!
Had the yellow wire break off from the lug with the green/blue wire. The switch matrix didn’t indicate that the two connected (well… at least not that I could figure out).

Thanks!!!
