Vintage amp tube socket speaker plugs - Pin 1 or 2 positive?
Working on a 1965 Danelectro DM25 amp. The head has an 8-pin tube socket out to the speaker in a separate cab. Pins 1 and 2 are the speaker wire, 4 and 5 are jumpered. The speaker is a 1965 Jensen C12Q.
Anyone know which Pin goes to the positive speaker terminal? |

Well, I have searched everywhere for this info tonight to no avail.
I just wired it Pin 2 to the positive terminal on the speaker, which I hope is the left terminal on a vintage C12Q :? as it is the one with the white lead inside the basket. I did this because the old stranded lamp cord these things were wired with had the ridged side coming out of Pin 2 on the plug. Dunno... |

Okay, if anyone ever needs this info:
On a tube socket speaker out Pin 1 is common ground and Pin 2 is positive. The jumpered pins shut down the amp if the speaker load is disconnected. This learned from a response in the Weber forums. |
