sku_u Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Hey all, I have a mystery WICO. It's identical in appearance to the 5200 WICO except the pinout is wired for PC and the color of the body is white instead of red. Is this an uncommon WICO? Could I easily swap out the wire with one from a red WICO? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegamezmaster Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Sounds like the Wico for the Apple computers of that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could I easily swap out the wire with one from a red WICO? I have one of those, I think there are 2 funky resistors in there that you may have to remove as well. I know the 5200 WICO doesn't have those resistors soldered to the pot contacts like this one does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
