Mini DPDT switch acting wierd

#1 Post by Charles Jenkinson »

So, I was thinking the DPDT switch was knackered since it kind of only 'half switched' to one side away from the middle position, i.e. it wouldn't detent properly fully one way. Then I got it home after a car ride and it switched fine both ways away from the middle. Anyone else had this? And is it indicative of likely future problems or just a one-time glitch?
2xJ12L (3012HO) switchable/melded
2xT30

Change the switch I reckon...
Built:
DR 250: x 2 melded array, 2x CD horn, March 2012 plans.
T39's: 4 x 20" KL3010LF , 2 x 28" 3012LF.
WH8: x 6 with melded array wired series/parallel.
Bunter's Audio and Lighting "like"s would be most appreciated...
