[R-390] Odd Splice In Fuse Area - R390

[Bob kb8tq]

Hi

An ohm meter that goes beep when you hit a connection is your friend
in this case. Clip one side to the splice and then start randomly dragging
the other end over the various chassis  / front panel connections. If you get 
lucky ( and you might ….) you’ll get a beep without digging into / dismounting 
any sub assemblies …

The three wires (one white with a red stripe and two white with red and orange stripes) were solidly soldered together; however, it leaves me to wonder why those were done that way.  Those wires go into larger cables and, as such, not sure where they might go or whether they might have been connected to something else that might have since been removed.
