[GreenKeys] W1AW transmission

[Dino Papas]

When I built my ST-6 kit in 1979 it came with one large roll of green  
colored wire to create the wiring harness making all the  
interconnections between the PCBs....imagine making a wiring harness  
with only one color of wire.....I said to myself, "self" if they gave  
you the wire then you're gonna use it and I did!  Boy, am I glad it  
worked the first time and I didn't have to troubleshoot that harness!

It's still sitting in the closet waiting for the day it needs to be  
put back into service (in case the ST-8000/ST-8000A's bite the bullet!).
