I won't go into details, but I have a wiring issue. After changing out the two big PS Caps, I have 2 wires that I can't remember where they went. First, they are both small 16-18GA wires. One is red and one is black. They both have full eyelet terminals on the loose ends. I believe they are the red a black wires which lead to the front red power light... I know for sure the red one is. Can someone with an S/200 by willing to pop the top (4 screws) and help me with where these two wires need to connect back to? My email is svanos49@gmail.com Thanks, Steve
Surely those are for the LED pilot light. Someone will have a photo. Just be careful with the polarity.
You can test the polarity of an LED with a DVM on the diode function. When it lights up, the red probe is on positive.

Frequently referred to as Papa , he would know as that is one of his designs.

Do you have a DMM with a diode range on it? If so, connect it to the two wire ends and see what it reads each way. If the light is an LED, it should light up in one direction, and measure some voltage across it in the forward direction.
The photo which rayma posted is great, but it doesn't show where those 2 wires connect. I does show the red and black wires coming from the led power light down there on the right. I also have a Stasis S300 and the red wire on it connects to a terminal on that black square component mounted on the side of the aluminum header. But both my wires on the S200 have eyelets on them and go under a nut or screw and not soldered.
In the photo below I have marked the 2 wires in question. One is a very dark gray and has a blue eyelet, and the other is red with a red eyelet. The blue one goes down behind the big caps and attaches to a ground lug on the floor of the amp. The red one goes down a little to the left and attaches to a terminal, then thru a resistor, and then (still red) comes up and twists with a black wire and goes to the led power light. Now, since they are red and blue, should they connect with the blue and red stack under that philips screw on the positive of each big cap, or somewhere else? On my S/300, the wire which is attached to the lug on the floor comes up with a black crimp and it is the the stack of black wires with the nut on top. Somebody must have an s200 and can simple tell me where these 2 wires are attached on their unit? I feel like, given the eyelets on them, they much go on one of those 3 lugs - red, blue, or black.
