This is how I do it.... 1]Remove speaker grille, and panel. 2]Get out permanent marker and mark a line on each of the yokes and crts to realign. 3]Disconnect plug if necessary and loosen yoke. 4]Rotate yoke so solder/pins are directly facing me--slide up/down for access. 5]Solder all pins. 6]Do all three yokes. 7] Realign starting with the green -use any news show that has the ticker tape for alignment or a grid....or go out to the van and get the generator for those rare/occasional UHF'ers. 8]Close it up, collect money, hope your day consists of nothing but cracked yoke connections.
