Hi, I'm trying to figure out what's what on the 3PDT switch on the RAT.
After trying my best this is my result (se attachment)

Can anyone help me confirm if I got it right? And if not, please school me!

Seems right. Did you verify with your meter?

Nice to hear,

yes, I have tried to do that. Everything seems to check out
- Return is connected to middle lug of volume pot
- led is via a resistor (brown, blue red), connected to...well, the led
- In and out
- When switch is engaged, in, out, rtn, snd are all connected

I was just utterly confused by the wiring style, have not seen this one in particular before

I think that's fairly common but rotated sideways from how they are normally positioned. In the RAT, the sideways mount is used because it's a carry over from how the DPDT was mounted and connected before they started using 3PDT switches.
