    Wow thanks for that.....golf day today but I will get on to that tomorrow.
    I was worried I’d put the switch in wrong wayarround. The red circle is where the original blue wire was but I figured I would use a continuous wire from the 4 connector wire right through to the pot rather than stopping at the end of the switch and then using another wire to connect switch to pot.
    That was a lot of work and gives me a lot to work on....thanks

    PROBLEM SOLVED eventually
    I redid much of the solder and the three switch positions connected. I put tape under the switch. Everything looked ok.
    Back to my music room.....farting and spitting came out of the amp. My wife said you’re not going to spend hours retiring again...go to the guitar repair guy I have used for guitar set ups in the past. I agreed and he took me into his workshop checked connections soldered a couple. Still a connection problem...it was the copper shielding and he took that out and it sounded fantastic.
    20 minutes and my problem over and he did it as a freebie...nice guy. Played for hour or so last night super chuffed.
    As this should be my last post ( my wife thinks 8 guitars is enough) thanks to all. It really has been a great experience and lockdown is over in NZ so I’m also back to golf / lawn bowls etc YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN GREAT
