Examine the bridge closely to make sure that the wing slots are free of warps or irregularities and that the slots present flat parallel faces. FIG. 3 FINE TUNING INSTALLING THE PICKUP Measure the opening of the wing slot on the bridge with a vernier caliper. The opening should be between . 060-. 090" (1. 5-2. 3mm) for proper fit. If the wing slot measures less than . 060" (1. 5 mm), employ a qualified repairman to enlarge the wing slot. If the wing slot measures more than . 090 inch (2. 3 mm), a small wooden shim may be required. If so, use an adhesive to bond the shim to the "leg" face. Slide the Transducer into the wing slot of the bridge (See Fig. 1). Make certain that the sensing element is in contact with the wing face and that the spring is in contact with the corresponding "leg" face of the bridge. The spring (made of tempered beryllium copper) provides the proper tension for a snug fit in wing slots ranging from . 060 inch to . 090 inch (1. 2 mm to 2. 3 mm). NOTE: For best performance, the wing slot opening should be exactly . 070" (1. 8mm). [. . . ] Once the V-200 is properly mounted, plug the instrument into an amplifier and play at a low volume. Carefully shift the V-200 a small distance within the slot and test using the trial and error method, listening for the the best location. NOTE: If installation is to be permanent, a small drop of adhesive on the side (lower face) of the transducer can be used. PLUGGING IN Due to the nature of passive pickups, the type of cable you use and the input you plug into will affect the quality of your sound.
