Subject:ten minute MS control mod

My church's A-100 doesn't have a Leslie (yet), so they're using my
Pro-3T/LowPro for Advent (I suspect this was a mistake, the music minister
REALLY likes it...) but the foot controller just was not the best for using
by hand with a real organ, and you couldn't tell by looking at it what the
speed was.

I went to Radio Shack and got one of their 3-switch packages - 2 SPST and 1
DPDT toggle switches for $4.99. The foot control opens with four screws.

Orient the switches so that the key-notches are both pointed up. Use an SPST
for the "slow" switch, since closed circuit is slow and open circuit is
stopped. Use a middle and lower terminal on one side of the DPDT switch,
since the circuit is open for fast and closed for slow (backwards of the
other one, but it makes sense if you assume that "no control plugged in ==
fast"). I also needed a 6" piece of wire to connect the two switches, since
the wire that connected the two was too short to reuse. Make all connections
mechanically sound, then solder.

I kept the original switches and put things back together, then tested it.
Now the music minister can tell at a glance what the speed settings are, and
it can sit on top of the organ, easy to reach and work by hand.

Chances are I'll leave it this way for my own use, when (if ????) I get the
speaker back. I built a custom under-console control panel for my A-105, but
this will work for when I use it with the CX-3.
