[TR] TR3A Overdrive Switch

[William Brewer]

     My OD switch took a little jiggling to get it to work. I ordered a repro switch and installed it. It worked backwards from the original. The original was up to engage and the repro was down to engage. Reversing the wiring didn't change it. I opened up the repro and reversed the wires inside and now it is the same as the original. I looked at the original and it looks like where the switch toggle hit the casing was so worn that the switch would pass over the center. I liked the original more and may go back to it.
     Good luck,

The TR3A OD switch has screws holding the casing together.  I have to wiggle the switch to make it engage.  Has anyone taken one of these apart and looked inside?  Are they "rebuildable," meaning can someone dink around with the guts to make a superior product than what comes from the Big 3?
