Title: Feta Complis rotary switch question
Post by: Tremster on November 06, 2013, 07:57:19 PM
Hello.
I feel a little dumb asking this, but are there different kinds of rotary switches?
I ordered one for the Feta Complis, a regular 3p4T switch, and it seems to be incorrect. Mirrored, so to speak. The Feta, seen from the component side, is
   C
B   A
the switch is
   C
A   B

[image deleted]

That switch would be right for the component side, but not the other side.
So I ordered a different brand. SAME. And then another one. SAME.
What the??
Could someone please point out the right switch from Banzai, Musikding or MEK - or tell where I'm thinking wrongly?!?
Thanks!

I dont think the A B C nomenclature makes any difference, as you are still going to have three poles and four throws.  You should be fine with the one youve got in the picture.

I never, ever bother trying to align the numbers on those rotaries, I just puts them in the board and solders 'em down. As long as it's on the right side of the board and fits, it will work ^_^V

Sometimes they are like on the zpsdx and sometimes they're not.
