real ring wiring

2007-01-18 by mudthumpertwine

Hi,
I just received my real ring modulator today, wired it up and
connected it to two outputs on my paia vco then out to an amp and just
got silence.
Now I'm very new to this so I just wanted to make sure that I am
wiring the jacks right.
I have 3 switchcraft type jacks(different that the box ones in ken's
diagram) that have 3 places to connect wires.
The first connects to the shaft where the plug enters so i figured
that is the ground or the equivalent of SL?
The other two connect to parts that are touching but when a plug
enters the one piece(A) is forced away from the other.
I am guessing that (A) is the equivalent of TP?
I've tried all sorts of wiring and the best i can get is that humming
that means something isn't grounded.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Also, my vco sounds weird now without the ring modulator attached.
I figured since this was a passive device, no harm would come from
trying different wiring out. Was this wrong to do?

-Jay
