REFLECTOR: RC Allen pinout

[Brian Michalk]

Thanks.
I called Kelly Manufacturing and verified my RCA83A-11 is as follows:
A: positive
B: ground
C: spare

I also had questions on my electric DG and electric AI.  They both are
labeled, with four pin connectors.  I thought they would be identical, but
their labeling has pins B and C swapped.  Nathan (from Kelly) said that when
you add internal lighting some things change internally.  Since I left my
papers at home I could not give him the exact information he needed to tell
me the pinout.
I'll call them again tomorrow.  Just a note to fellow builders.  I'm not
entirely sure connecting a gyro with opposite polarity would break it.  From
what I understand they have a three phase inverter inside to drive the
motor.  If they were slick, they would protect against this.

Did you try Nuckoll's web site, he has a listing of quite a few pinouts.
