Holding the Delta Board plug in JST connectors 1-3
of MIDI Board into Delta Main Board

Now connect JST connectors 4-6

14
Put both boards into place
The following step is usually not needed!
In rare cases the cable which connects the keybed to the Delta Board
is a tad bit short after installing the MIDI Board and requires
to be relocated as follows:
Start by unscrewing and moving the Joystick assembly,
exposing the cable. Gently tuck the cable between the wooden block
and underneath the metal frame which fastens the keybed to the bottom.

15
Place spacers between boards
Insert provided screws but perhaps it is best not to fasten
the boards until tests have been fully completed

16
Connect JST connectors 1-6 to MIDI Board
Connect Yellow (11) and Blue (10) cables back into the centre of Delta Main Board
Connect Cable 7 from Delta Front Panel to BUSBARS connector on MIDI Board
(cutting cable-ties is needed for the cable to reach the MIDI Board)
