    Make double sure that the wires are touching the jumpers and that ALL FOUR BINDING POSTS--FOUR ARE SCREWED DOWN AS TIGHT AS POSSIBLE SO THAT THE JUMPERS ARE FLUSH ON THE SPEKER TERMINAL.

    A loose jumper will often cause that.

    Ditto on the jumpers. Make your own out of some speaker wire if the other ones are not making a good connection. My 70's were a little loose on one speaker post, and I had to kind of jiggle them around a little to get a good hook up.
