Which pin is pin 1(MMJ)?  I would think it was the first on the left (if you are 
looking at the back of the machine).  Just thought this needed to be clarified 
since this could make a big difference to my wiring. (ie: if pin 1 was the first 
to the right, my wiring would all be backwards)

Thanks,
