MYSTERY WIRE??

Howdy all,,,,, I just took possession on this Bogen HE-10 amp, and trying to figure out what that 'G71' cable is on the far right? A speaker connect?,, and if not, how do I configure the 5 pin sockets on the left? Similar to an earlier post of mine about an amp with a 6 pin socket...
Thanks, Kenny
20200626_185149.jpg[/attachment UPDATE,,, That G71 wire is wired directly to the RCA phono jack on the side, then goes to the Phono Volume pot.... So, here's another picture of the Hot? Impedance wire connected to those 5 pin parallel sockets. The orange 500ohm, yellow 8ohm, & green 15ohm wires all go to one different lugs on one side of the tranny, and the brown 4ohm goes to a lug on the other side. So, what's hot, & what's not, where do I dangle some wires?[attachment=0]20200626_190841.jpg

The 3rd pic shows the Impedance wire going to similar pins on each of the 5 pin sockets, AND there's a yellow wire connecting just 2 similar pins on the 5 pin sockets...

Zoezoe: I am not intending to be mean spirited with my answer. It's just that you are capable of answering many of your questions on you own if you will just explore the internet. It would be good form to show that you can do more than just post a question and expect someone to serve you an answer.

It took me about 3 minutes to find a schematic here: https://music-electronics-forum.com/for ... styleid=13 The schematic answers many, many questions. The schematic also suggests what you might do with that wire.

I'll frame my answer a bit differently. I think folks would be a whole lot more receptive if you would say, "Hey, I found the schematic to this amp I have <link> but I can't figure out this wire. Can you help me?" It is a lot to expect someone else to do an internet search for you.

Thank you for the encouraging info, Phil. I guess I was writing too soon, as I have schematic, & i had it I'm my head what to do. It's my first time working on an amp of any kind, & I just needed a thumbs up. Don't worry, the mods will be done by my tech, but I just wanted to get a few evidently simple things out of the way.
I fully agree with your advice & critique.
Thank you all again.
