The doubt arises because the switch on the POT has wires from the switch to the PCB. It's fair enough to solder all pins on a PCB mounted switch but running a wire which goes nowhere is harder to believe.aionios wrote: ↑23 Jan 2023, 02:06 I see that all six pins are soldered, but only the center-left pin has a visible top-side trace coming off it, with the rest on the bottom. I always include pads for unused pins because it provides better mechanical connection. I don't see anything in the photo that casts doubt on the schematic, although I could certainly be missing something basic!

Gonna be honest I’ve been a member here for a while but I’m still a complete beginner with this stuff. I can build a kit and what not and do some mods and easy repairs but that’s about the extent of my knowledge.
How can I contribute to this? Would detailed shots of the front and back of surface board suffice? Everyone’s always been helpful to me here so I’d like to contribute back what I can.

You should be able to check where the switch wires go using a multimeter. I'd recommend that method over disassembling the unit and taking photos. Sometimes things go wrong despite good intent.How can I contribute to this? Would detailed shots of the front and back of surface board suffice?

Lol, file that under "missing something basic" then. I assumed the switch was PCB-mounted and didn't even notice that the actual switch was off to the left of the PCB. Yes, that's a bit more suspicious.george giblet wrote: ↑23 Jan 2023, 02:36The doubt arises because the switch on the POT has wires from the switch to the PCB.
