Hi,
I found this schematic some time ago...
Do you think will it work ?

There are a number of unknowns here.

1 - is there enough voltage at the junction of the two 100E resistors to pull in the relay ?

2 - is the switch latching or non-latching (or is it actually one set of relay contacts) ?

3 - is the relay a latching type (I'm assuming that the diagonal line through the symbol means 'latching' but I'm not sure, so I could e wrong) ?

You could always go ahead and build it - then report back with your findings.

Or, you could use the SEARCH BOX and look up the thread "A Switching Scheme" by MicTester, who published a well-tried and proven relay latching system with minimal component count.
