Jim was just saying to have a look at some online electronics shops, rather than a guitar parts seller like Realparts. Realparts are great for some things, but you should be able to get basic electrical/electronic components like that DPDT switch for less if you look elsewhere.

Any recommendations?

Did you you see my posy from 8:16 this morning?

Yeah sorry, my internet wasn’t running too well and it posted when it fixed itself.

Though you may prefer the flat toggle look and feel of the original for a pickup selector. RS do one https://au.rs-online.com/web/p/toggl...d%22%3Atrue%7D

Though it's less than half that price in the UK!

But a more expensive one with more fixing washers and nuts might end up being better value in the end.

I bought some at Jaycar that were well priced and do the job.

That’s an on off on switch, what does that mean in terms of pickup selection?
Also, I had a look at jaycar and they had an on-on switch, will that work with the diagram that was posted on the first page?

[Simon Barden]

Sorry about that! Was looking more at the DPDT thing and the flat handle than the switch configuration.

ON-ON is two position, so you won't have the mixed position available, just neck or bridge.

Loads of cheap mini DPDT on-on-on switches available, but almost all have round toggles.

The two I linked are indeed on-on-on (3-way) switches.

Very reasonably priced IMO, and even with postage, probably cheaper than the Realparts one. The one caveat is no flat lever.

FTR I buy heaps from Realparts and they have great products & service, but I tend to order multiple items in one go to take advantage of their shipping discounts. However, little one-off items can get expensive with the flat-rate $7.90 postage. It comes down to "is it worth it to you?"

[Bit Confused]

Well, I didn’t know about the postage thing on real parts but i’m buying most of my hardware from them anyway.
