Happy Thanksgiving, 
I have attche a photo of a very thin wire with black plastic-looking insulation(some of it has come off) and it is attached to terminal 5 on the 6K7G IF amp and the goes up into the bottom of the IF transformer.  In the Ron Ramirez video of the 37-640 I have been following, he had a yellow wire going to somwhere in the RF unit instead of what I am finding.  Can someone help with my confusion of what type of wire I should use to replace taht thin black wire?  Thanks so much--John
