Due to some overall fuzziness on my part (prescription drugs sure are fun) I had trouble figuring out how to install said switches into my FP3. Thanks to DEBK and Grainger, we all know grainger and deb makes those rocking purple amps, they helped tremendously in helping me sort it out. Heck, deb told me exactly what goes where which I twisted slightly because it made wiring easier in my mind at least. Anyhoo, this guide is only going to cover wiring the selector switch because with snapping pics, it's all I got done today. All drain wires on all 6 input wires end up at terminal 28. My logic counts the terminals right next to 28 as #3;. two over as #2 and the third over as #3. So, without adoo. Linput1 the red wire goes to terminal 36 and black ends at selector switch left side bottom 1. Linput2, red terminates at T30 and black ends at left side bottom 2. Linput3, red goes to terminal 29 and black goes to left hand bottom 3. Btw, for neatness sake all these black connections should be made from underneath. The right side is the flip of the left so: Rinput1, the red goes to T20 and black goes to right hand bottom 1. On Rinput2, red goes to T26 and black goes to right hand bottom 2. Finally, Rinput3 red goes to T27 and black goes to right hand bottom 3.


Here are some pics to hopefully put this in order:

Hopefully this mini guide will be of help to Goldpointers out there, any ?'s feel free to PM me. A guide covering connections to the the attenuators will come in the future. Thanks for listening

So the part number for the selector swithch would be, 4P-3T-1D ?

BTW - Its not your prescription drugs making things fuzzy. Its your camera. ;-)
