Hi John,
The picture upload here is kind of famous for being...challenging, but learning to do it is a rite of passage here. (It's OK to ask for help early on.)
I've been pondering your dilemma and I'm wondering if maybe your wires are color coded something like this:
Brown Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Violet Gray
There is this downright evil thing I had to learn in the very beginning of Elementary Electricity back in the ninth grade called the resistor color code.
-Once again: this is a rite of passage. If it gave the kid a nervous breakdown they sent him back to wood shop. Those who managed to absorb the impact were on a track that could lead to Engineering School, or maybe even TV and Radio Repair!
("-and now I am the ruler of the Queen's Nay-Vee!")
It's not that it's particularly that bad for those of clear mind, it's just dumping something this confusing on somebody who's also coping with adolescence...
These colors in sequence stand for 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 and 8.
Often this code is applied to other things than just resistors.
-just maybe!
