Logic Board; (b) strobe connector from J1 on the Power Board; and (c)
capacitor connector from J3 on the Power Board. (Figure 3-2)

Board. (Figure 3-13)

Important: Note the location of the removed solenoid wires during disassembly.
Replacement solenoid wires must be inserted into the same pin number slots of

flathead screwdriver.
