Really am useless at this but the only way to get better .......
Also, afraid that this one is not an O.
Doing a restoration job on an old Hofner semi.
Here is the back of th econtrol panel, really simple or what? Ignoring the spaghetti in the middle for the tone controls - just two volume pots. A couple of single coil pups, just a pair of wire [and ground shields]. You would think I could sort that out! Figure that the earths and shielding will all end up the same place [linked to the socket earth] and the positives to ........ maybe to the left lugs [the ones with the other black wires attached].
A bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing ... lack the confidence to try but with the sort of help one gets here who needs to.
Thanks
Paul

Coils 1 and 2 may need to be swapped depending on how the panel goes into the guitar.
