I have a 1979 5-pin Suitcase with a power switch that began to arc. I ordered a replacement switch from Vintage Vibe and believe I'm seeing inconsistencies in their wiring instructions. Their diagram shows this:

While they have a YouTube video showing installation of the switch that differs from the diagram by including the green/black & black wire from the transformer connecting to the lug with the yellow transformer wire rather than soldered together, shrink wrapped and stowed away as the diagram instructs.

Curious as to what these 2 wires intended location is.

I'd suggest just taking a picture how your current switch is wired up, and following that for new installation.

The other trick, is to plug in your Rhodes to any power strip, and leave the amp switch on.  Use the power strip switch as the power.
