Attention Weirdy and other electronic gurus!!

Nothing to report at this stage.
Thanks to commitments with the Brass Band, I was only able to disassemble all of the electrics on Saturday, and clean up all of the parts of solder as best I could before starting again from fresh.
On Sunday I fully intended o get everything sorted with readings etc, but was floored by a migraine that left me bed bound all day.
I'll have a look at it tonight and pass on the relevant information.

Oh dude, my better half suffers from those damnable migraines. Hers normally leave her unable to function, and usually curled on the cold bathroom floor or similar trying not to hurl (and not always succeeding). You have my sympathies.

Thanks bud, most appreciated.
Thankfully this time I wasn't sick, but I got the cold sweats up there at one point, and was on the verge of running to the toilet. I think I spent a total of about 4hrs out of bed yesterday, but was asleep for pretty much the rest of it.
Still popping the Nurofens today, but it's only a shadow of what it was.

Glad to hear you are on the mend mate.

Hope it passes soon, Zandit. My commiserations.

I think I grabbed a dodgy multi meter to take home. I was only able to get measurements every now and then, even touching the two points together only gave me something occasionally.
I'll take the switch into work and check it against the other unit we have at work and see if that makes a difference. Otherwise I think I may need a new switch.

[Simon Barden]

Could just be a dead battery.

[Zandit75]

Ding Dong the switch is dead!!
The first multi meter had dodgy leads. However after using the other set at work it seems that the switch is dead. Absolutely no response whatsoever.
Considering I had some sound out of it originally, I reckon I fried it with too much heat from the soldering iron. Time to search for a new switch.

Strange that it was working in the one position initially, maybe it was already on the way out. RealTone usually ship pretty quickly (pricey), but similar switches are available at lots of places.

Did you also double-check the pickup coil wire pairs? Just to be thorough.

[Zandit75]

Not yet Weirdy, I'll take the good MM home tonight and check them over. I didn't want to risk bring the guitar body in to work and get it damaged.
