MSA neck selector switch wiring problem

Karl Smakula · From: Nashville, TN

So I recently replaced a broken neck selector switch on my MSA Classic SS and I’m not exactly getting the desired result. I get signal for both the E9 and C6 necks, but in the middle position, where I anticipated getting signal from both necks, I only got signal from the C6. I’m gonna guess I did something wrong, but if any of you could help steer me in the right direction, I’d sure appreciate it. Attached is the photo of the switch in its present state.

Maybe this will help. Pickup leads should be on either end of the switch with the jack lead in the center...that's provided it's the proper switch on on on 3 position style.

I did this not long ago. You’ll want to link each pair horizontally. Middle pair will go to the output jack. Looks like a dpdt switch not a spdt.
