Crazy switching 1/4 jack

I recently fixed up a Multivox Fullrotor and I am now trying to get the PEDAL output to work on it. For those unfamiliar, the pedal out on this "desk" unit allows one to hook up an external footswitch to set on/off and set the speed. This is from the schematic...



The NC and NO designate two different kinds of switches, correct? One normally open and one normally closed? The stock jack has two switches but they are both normally open. Could the schematic be incorrect? Or am i wrong about the schem?

ach! i was gonna say you could check by continuity checking the 2 paths to make sure they were  nc and no... too late!  ;D

It turns out that each "switch" on the jack can be wired for NC or NO operation but someone snipped off certain tabs on the jack and it messed me up.
