Re: Very Odd and OT VG-8 Question

[Simeon Harris <simeonharris40@googlemail.com>]

my old vg-8 used to produce some noise when the mag outs weren't connected 
to the gk. i solved it by unsoldering pin 7 which normally carries the mag 
signal. the gk lead isn't shielded very well and if the mag line isn't 
connected, then it's just acting like a big long antenna.
