Sorry about that, just a little "hardware geek"
slipping out there. When you describe a switch, you
describe how many states it has (on/off, on/on, etc)
and how many legs (soldering points) it has. In this
case, it's an SPDT which stands for Single Pole (only
one bank, or one set of legs) Double Throw (means that
there is an "on" state in either direction. This means
that there is a single common that makes a connection
on either side.
Doing all this hardware hacking really brings back
memories of my building my first 8-bit computer! an
RCA Cosmac ELF! Nixie tubes anybody?
