Hello!

Just got hold of a couple of unmarked 3pdt switches. The others i've got had markings 1 2 3 and a b c etc. So my question is  if there is quick and easy way to measure up the orientation? I've tried it myself with my multimeter but i did not get any wiser doing that.

In new to building as well, but from what I understand it's this:

- - - throw 1
- - - common
- - - throw 2.

So basically as long as the lugs of the switch are horizontal, you will be fine.

True story
Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

Uproar and and a serendipity! comming along nice, just waiting for my cases and they are ready.

Ps: Just noticed the reason i could not get good readings....I was pushing the switch to gently so it never actually switched :)
