The one that mbasko put a link to is the same from memory I think I removed some shielding just enough to clear the head phone jack and i just counter sunk it a little so it could be tightened up .I put the jack to one side not in between the switch's ,there are pictures on other forums just have a look around before you start but it well worth the effort regards john

Well thats done, just need to take it out tomorrow and see if i can find some of the elusive yellow stuff.....

 

[Tictac]

Well i got the button sorted. I cost less then $10. Took it out on the weekend and found some stuff. No gold unfortunately but the ground balance button worked a treat.
thanks for all the help.

Hi all I'm just trying to do this mod does it matter witch way the wires are soldered on the panel mount switch so it stays in either tracking or fixed mode that's the part that Has me stumped ?

 

[Guest]

No mate, all its doing is making a connection, so when the button is pressed it will be tracking, and when released it will be in fixed.

Hope this helps.

Ok thanks Paul i was just wondering about it cause the wires were on the switch a particular way. cheers ivo

Yes, the original switch does the same as the push button switch, if you have a multimeter, put it on the original switch and move it to and from tracking, then do the same on the push button switch, pressed in = tracking, out = fixed.

If you are doing it the same as I did, keep the original switch incase you sell it, as it can be reinstalled back to original.
cheers,
Paul
