First 206A Restoration (first post too!)

[emutchler]

Hi all! I just picked up a 206A which is my first EP. It needs a lot of work and so I had intended to convert it to a 200A and make it a personal project. I removed all of the mechanics and electronics to give it a good clean (which it desperately needed) but I forgot to take pictures of everything so I know how it all fits back in. Specifically, a few of the green grounding wires are stumping me a little bit as to where they attach to. I'm really worried I have messed up this beautiful instrument and could use some help getting it back together. Does anyone have some detailed pictures of their 206A without the lid they could share? I'm also wondering at this point if I should take it to a professional to get the mechanics worked on first and then I can work on the electronics (which is where I feel more comfortable). Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! I'm at work now but I can provide reference photos of my keyboard when I get home too if that helps.

It would probably be most helpful if you provided photos of the situation, and the ground lugs that are without a home.  Then we can piece together where everything goes.

I have a 206 (and I have no desire to chop it into a more portable shape), so I can compare and provide photos if I get motivated enough to pull it out, and open it up.  Maybe this is just the motivation I need to install the proper power cord, and disconnect those multipin blocks with live wires on the back of the unit.
