Does anyone have a schematic, manual, or wiring diagram for a 666? Does anyone know of one online?
Thanks
brian

Brian, just in case this is what you're looking for...

BTW, for my 666 I was able to make an useable substitute for the nearly-impossible-to-find Cannon connector by taking an old switchcraft xlr and smooshing the business end in a vise a bit. The pins on the mic line up OK with the holes on the xlr, it's just the outer d-shaped part of the xlr wouldn't fit in the mic casing. This works but the latch doesn't latch. But duct tape works wonders (and looks rock and roll to boot)

Just keep in mind you need to wire it differently, as above. If you jam an XLR in there, the mic will work, but you'll get a really thin sound.
