IB1 wiring question (problem solved)

[Mulldoe]

Hi all, I am soldering the harness together for my IB1 and have noticed that the wiring diagram shows a switch with 8 terminals but the supplied switch only has 7 terminals. Does anyone know the layout for the 7 terminal switch?

Cheers, Mulldoe

The import style switch like above can have either 8 lugs, where the two centre lugs are the 'commons' for each pole/half, or 7 lugs (as yours is) where it uses a single 'common' that connects to both poles/halves.

In the PBG IB-1 diagram you'll see that the 8 lug switch has a loop linking the two centre common lugs. So, for a 7 lug switch you just connect the wire from the volume pot to the centre 'common' lug and ignore the loop.
