Title: Switches. Post by: Thonolan on September 29, 2012, 10:21:54 PM Is it possible/how difficult is it to swap out a guarded latching switch to a Illuminated momentary switch?
I am considering using the 15% sale as a reason to upgrade my libby to sound. Title: Re: Switches. Post by: Ninja-Jedi on September 30, 2012, 12:11:13 AM it is possible need to know how to solder, the current switch is press fitted so u can pry it loose , then u need to solder in new switch prob need to upsize the switch hole to accomodate for new LED switch talk to plagueis for switch hole size he has already done this. Then u need to wire the led on switch and resistor it accordingly
Title: Re: Switches. Post by: Thonolan on September 30, 2012, 03:58:11 PM I know how to solder (it's been years) and this is going to be my first foray back in to using a soldering iron.
I will be buying some stuff ahead of time and relearning how to properly run the solder and make smooth connections. Title: Re: Switches. Post by: Master Bluespike74 on October 01, 2012, 12:07:05 AM I think the press fit hole is 9/16". I also did a video diary of when I converted my Overlord from stunt to sound. It in the video section and could provide some help.

I decided to go with the guarded momentary just to save some possible flubs and damage. after spending all this time painting, I really dont want to mess up anything. |
