Rhonda, congratulations on finding the Paragon A-66, especially one in mint
condition. If you don't have the manual, you can download it (in three
separate files) from this link:
http://www.paragonweb.com/catalog.cfm?type=manuals
Or you can order one from Paragon.
The A-66 uses a 4-way rotary switch and requires a 4-wire circuit. The
neutral must be separate from the grounding (green) wire. The manual
describes electrical installation.
Sincerely,
Arnold Howard
