Title: Selector switch has four positions
Post by: rlb6v6 on April 17, 2014, 03:07:27 PM

After five days of use, getting more amazing everyday, I noticed that my selector switch has four positions.  Position 1 is my cd, Position 2 is my phono, Position 3 silent, (Input 3 is vacant), and the 4th position is the cd again. Wiring terminals were as in the instructions.
I have no problem with this arrangement, just a curiosity.
Anyone else get one of these?

If you remove the knob from the switch, undo the nut, and remove the lock washer, then slip the switch out of the plate, you'll then see a little metal ring on what would be the top of the switch.

This metal ring has a tab on it that sets the number of stops.  If it slips a position, you'll get position 1 twice, or potentially just position 1 and 2 (if it slips the other way).

There's no harm in leaving it as-is, or you can move the ring one position.  (Counterclockwise IIRC)

Thanks Paul, I will correct it, didn't even realize that was possible.  I must add that the instructions are without a doubt the best of any I have seen!  I have built three guitar amp kits, one scratch built guitar amp and a few effects pedals.  NONE of which had the clarity that the BH instructions do.
Thanks to all involved in the production of these kits!

Thanks for the kind words, Bob!
