2. Neck bare (drawn grey) runs with the green to the same solder spot. → Neck bare (drawn grey) runs with the green to the same solder spot. (wire, bare)
3. Bridge green runs up to the volume's upper solder spot. → Bridge green runs up to the volume's upper solder spot. (wire, green)
4. Bridge bare (drawn grey) runs with the green to the same solder spot. → Bridge bare (drawn grey) runs with the green to the same solder spot. (wire, bare)
5. Wire from the right-hand pole's third lug runs right, down and back left (hopping the switch output wire) to the volume's upper solder spot. → Wire from the right-hand pole's third lug runs right, down and back left (hopping the switch output wire) to the volume's upper solder spot. (wire, black)
6. Volume right lug is bent to the lower solder spot. → Volume right lug is bent to the lower solder spot. (wire, ground)
7. Wire from the volume's upper solder spot loops down (hopping the tip wire) to the jack sleeve. → Wire from the volume's upper solder spot loops down (hopping the tip wire) to the jack sleeve. (wire, black)
8. 'Bridge Ground' wire ends on the volume's upper solder spot, hopping the switch output wire. → 'Bridge Ground' wire ends on the volume's upper solder spot, hopping the switch output wire. (wire, black)
9. Neck red runs with the neck white up and over to the right-hand pole's bottom lug (a common). → Neck red runs with the neck white up and over to the right-hand pole's bottom lug (a common). (wire, red)
10. Neck white runs with the neck red to the same right-hand bottom lug. → Neck white runs with the neck red to the same right-hand bottom lug. (wire, white)
11. Neck black runs right to the switch's second left-hand lug. → Neck black runs right to the switch's second left-hand lug. (wire, black)
12. Bridge black curves up to the switch's top left-hand lug. → Bridge black curves up to the switch's top left-hand lug. (wire, black)
13. Bridge red, drawn as a 'red & white' pair, ends on the switch's third left-hand lug. → Bridge red, drawn as a 'red & white' pair, ends on the switch's third left-hand lug. (wire, red)
14. Bridge white, in the same 'red & white' pair, ends on the third left-hand lug. → Bridge white, in the same 'red & white' pair, ends on the third left-hand lug. (wire, white)
15. Wire from the left-hand pole's bottom lug (the other common) runs down, hops two wires, and ends on the volume's left lug (back view, lugs down). → Wire from the left-hand pole's bottom lug (the other common) runs down, hops two wires, and ends on the volume's left lug (back view, lugs down). (wire, black)
16. Volume middle lug runs down to the jack tip. → Volume middle lug runs down to the jack tip. (wire, black)

## What each position does



- The catalog selector model does not reach the output jack on every drawn throw (selectionReachesTip); position labels follow the source sheet, not a verified simulation table.
- The transcribed super-switch map produces a short in the passive model (noShort); lug wiring matches the manufacturer diagram.
- Some switch terminals read as unwired in the catalog contact table (requiredTerminalsWired) despite matching the drawn lug map.
