Veroboard Timmy switch question.

[StevenJM]

I haven't posted on here in a few years, but thanks to google and lurking, you guys have helped more than you know haha.

Anyways... I'm a bit stumped on this one. Can someone tell me where the mini toggle switch gets soldered to? If I connect it directly to the lugs of drive 1 & drive 3, the switch works, but my drive knob has zero effect (which makes sense if 1 & 3 are connected). But if I just disconnect the switch, then my drive knob works just fine. (Luckily for me, this is the setting I prefer anyways, but I'd still like to know what I'm doing wrong).

Thanks in advance for any help or tips!

Is your particular switch a on-OFF-on one..??

That is what I ordered... but that doesn't always mean that's what I received.

Just opened it up and checked... it is on/off/on.

Does the drive control work in the middle (off) position of the switch?

No... even in the off position the drive knob doesn't work... which makes me think my switch is mislabeled or malfunctioning and is the issue.

I ran a continuity tester through the switch and it tested right... soldered it back in and now it's working... 🤷‍♂️
