Writeup: Rebuildng a 3-lever switch

[randygar]

I decided to rebuild my current 3-lever switch rather than get a new one, and since I couldn't find much about it online, wrote a quick writeup on it:

I'm not sure how useful it is, but even if someone just wants to see what's inside of one, hopefully it helps somebody somewhere. It probably counts as a draft at this point, given I haven't even spellchecked it yet...

Mine was pretty clearly not a good candidate for a rebuild, but it works now, so that's something!

Always wondered what was inside that. Have not had a problem so far but good info for future use. Dielectrictric grease would be ideal for the contacts.

Very well though out. And layed out very nice.

Good job. Thanks for the info.

Definitely a good primer! Nicely detailed and well put together.

I remember the frustration I had assembling one of mine several years ago with all the contacts and such.

What a great write up! I always wondered what goes on inside a three lever.
Taking the time to plan out and post a write up takes effort. They quietly help a lot of people. Thanks for doing it.

This should be added in with the manual stuff.
