ADDITIONAL NOTES ON INSTALLATION

Some of the original  VM1A  units and corresponding PC boards will show a "+" sign that is  associated with one of the bulb leads. It is also notated on the original Ampeg VM1A troubleshooting sheet. It has caused some confusion on installation.

While neon bulbs are not polarized, when used in DC circuits,  only one element out of the two lighting elements will light depending on which way you hook up the voltage to the bulb.  We believe that "+" indicates which side Ampeg wanted to have light and which lead to put where to accomplish this.  It is moot on the PC board VM1A as they can only be installed one way but if you have the hard wired VM1 as used on the B12XT, B18X, B15x and others, they do not specify on the unit or schematic which lead goes where.  If you want to make sure the bulb is hooked up the same way as the latter VM1A we have marked the "+" side of the bulb and it should connect to point "B" on these "X" amps and the cell closest to the "+" sign should be hooked up to the caps going to the V6A tube.  Again this is for the non PC board mounted VM1.  
On the later amps like the B42X and Gv amp with  PC board mounted units it's listed as point "C".

For the record, we do not notice any substantial difference in operation when flipping the bulb leads but we try and be as accurate to the originals as possible.
