rehousing green small stone- need footswitch help! convert 6 pole,8 pole to 3pdt

[hangwire]

Ok, I have my green small stone all apart and wanted some help on now knowing how to convert the wires going into the 6 pole footswitch as well as teh 8 pole flip swicth both into a 3pdt 9 pole switch

the footswitch is labeled like this:

1 2 3
1 2 3

...with the bottom row 1 a yellow wire to the LED, the bottom row 2 was open/empty of connection and the other 4 had wires the ran to the board

How do I wire this to be True Bypass so I no longer hear the background cycling on color on mode?


the flip /color switch that I am making into a footswitchable option... it is a 8 pole labeled:

1 3

2 4


5 7

6 8

... with the 2 and 5 soldered together and the 4 and 7 soldered together with wires going to the circuit board from all other poles... using a 3pdt... how to wire this to footswitch this currently flip switch control?




also:

it seems I need a 5" x 7" enclosure... where would I be able to find that locally? home depot? h.a.m. radio electronics places?

when soldering the footswitch... you heat up the pole piece with the iron, then warm up the wire and the pole and add the tip of solder wire to make a good connection, right? last time I soldered a 3pdt, it wa sunsuccessful (but I was reusing an old footswtch, so it was my understanding it was broke before... but I am just double checking to make sure it wa snot my error...)




thanks for any/all help... I have pics on my digital camera... but no internet at home so to get them here... I need to d/l to comp, burn to CDr then bring to work... I am willing to do it if it helps, though.

also, I think that I broke the pot... the "stem" slid out today... what value is the pot... 250k?

I rehoused my green small stone a few years ago.
I put it in a 125C box from Small Bear ($10).
The pot for the small stone is a 1Meg Reverse Audio taper ($2.75).  Small Bear also carries them.
But buy the Alpha 16mm and not the sovtek replacement the alpha is a much better pot.

Here are a few pics of my small stone

The bypass footswitch on the small stone is a little different than normal.  The pins labled 1 are the common pins.

The color switch wiring pin 2 and 5 should be tied together and are a common.  And pin 4 and 7 are tied together and are a common.

Hope that helps,
Adam

Anyone have these pictures?

I reloaded the pics on photobucket.  The links should work again.

Sovtek footswitches lugs are as follows, this is how it converts - (forget the numbers on the actual switch, this is how it relates to a regular DPDT)

Regular:
14
25
36

Sovtek:
14
36

25

Youl notice a bigger gap between the bottom lugs than the top two,these are common (2 and 5), this is how you wire a sovtek switch for truebypass:

Nevermind that its for a muff, just examine the switch and see how its different to the switch wiring(which is exactly the same) in the second link:
LINK1 SOVTEK SWITCH FOR TB

LINK 2 regular DPDTTB wiring

The lugs of the soviet military switches is all messed up compared to what we are used to. if in doubt use your DMM to check for common.(lugs 1 and 1 on the sovtek switch numbers)
