I am having trouble wiring up a 3PDT switch for an AMZ minibooster. Can anyone help?

I stuck the switch in a hole in a thin' piece of wood, then clamped the wood to the table so the lugs of the switch were facing me.
 Then I tested, [*maybe had to turn the switch 1/4 turn] so 'up' is the top row' down is the bottom row and all the poles are across the middle row.
 You can find the 'quarter turn' orientation of the 3PDT by clipping a DMM lead to the center lug and finding a lug that is connected, then turning the switch so that the connection' lug is 'facing north', once you get that going, testing and figuring out what the switch 'does, is easy with the DMM.
 This is a good first step for wiring 3PDT's...otherwise, if you're looking through the loops of a 3pDT blue, you can assign the other side of the switch from your eye as 'north', IIRC
