Author Topic: Ever see these odd swiches in AW-3 Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-02-2007 07:13 PM                     Out of at least a couple of hundred AW-3 that I service I've found one with some very unusual switches. I am wondering if this is a prototype AW-3 platter?? Anyone else ever see these? Of course the top deck switch is bad .

I bet it is on a system with the U shaped legs not the V right? An older system.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 06-02-2007 10:15 PM                     Yeah I've seen them. After reading Sean's post, I think he is probably correct on the vintage.  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 06-03-2007 08:00 AM                        Yeah; the first ones were soldered in permanently.
