Hey Friends,

I'm messing with my "new" Kyoraku 9 Drums Gladiator. My first modern .
I ran out and bought a potentiometer today based on the helpful postings from fellow members. Because, even though there is a factory installed volume control, at the lowest setting it's LOUD, which means no midnight pachinko frenzies for me on this machine.

My mindset is still based on vintages, where everything is easily accessible and relatively simple. I didn't expect the single speaker, which is in the ball cash-out tray, to be buried so ridiculously deep in the machine. It literally looks like a complete teardown would be required to get at it. Not gonna happen. Not this time.

Any advice on identifying which wires feed the speaker? There are about 8 going into that particular region of that chamber from the rear of the machine.

Thanks!
