D-Var-i-phase wiring diagram help!

[Tomolsen1]

Hi Guys!

 

My name is Tom, and I'm a session guitarist and part time tech and tinkerer. I've recently been contacted by another tech trying to solve a botched repair job on a D-VIP. The previous tech had removed EVERTHING from the guitar, and the only info I've been able to find has been from the heritage site. We've mailed heritage with no response too. Please help me put this axe back to its former glory?

 

Regards,

Thomas Selmer-Olsen

The info I have so far:

 

 

Sitting down in the playing position Lower Left = Master Volume.

Lower Right = Master Tone.

Upper Left = VIP ( Var i phase ) for Rhythm Neck pickup.

Upper Right = VIP (Var i phase ) for Lead Bridge pickup.

 

Two Mini Switches. 1 Down = VIP.

2 Middle = FULL HUM BUCKING (Bypasses VIP System).

3 Up= COIL TAP.

When in the Phase Roller Position 10 = IN PHASE.

0= Out of PHASE (on Roller knob).

 

There are two dpdt on-on-on switches in the guitar, but I don't know If they are original. The previous tech replaced all the pots, caps etc, I have no idea what the correct values would be. A schematic or diagram would be 1st prize.

 

Regards,

Thomas
