You have 4 wives on hand? My father once told me the the word woman, is a synonym for trouble. And the more women you have, ................................I typically have no less than 4 on hand... your wife should be thanking you for only having 1!
Ok, back to bizness. You know by now that the S1 and S6 switches are the First version switches. They were problem children. Often failed. As long as they work, dont bother with them. BUT, be looking around for the newer versions. I beleve Daybreak put a link to his exelent info about the switches, in this thread. If you ever find a switch at a reasonable price, buy one. Toss it on the shelf, so you dont get caught in a bind. Picture #2. to the left, the panel with the resisters and diodes. The wires that go to the left side often rub on the side of the control panel. if they are touching the side wall, bend them back, and keep an eye on them. You also know about the fuse MWO for the A1. Its simple, easy, and can save you mega bucks. The info is in the posting from Daybreak. Cheap insurance.I will be cleaning the dust out of this area...

This is great info! While I wait for my Master Switch, I will be looking at these items to fix.Ok, back to bizness. You know by now that the S1 and S6 switches are the First version switches.

Yes. GovPlanet auction. Search on 'Raytheon S/A Trailer Chassis GovPlanet' and click the 'Sold' page and you get about a year's worth of history on these trailers. Sort by Most Recent to get prices from last few auctions. I think they were originally used for some kind of radar unit.Is that an auction Price?
I used an inexpensive inline fuse holder from the auto parts store and put a fast acting 3 amp fuse in mine. Less than 5 bucks.Thanks for the great tip! I just checked mine and it seems that fix has not been done. I will get the fuse block and fuse in place before I try to start her up!

It is.... It might be a short-cut for the 2/4, 4/6, 6/8 jumpers shown on my switch's drawing....
The only thing wrong with doing it this way, is this. What happens if someone before you wired it wrong? ALWAYS, look at the schematics and wire diagram, write down or print out the wire numbers and contact points, and THEN go to it. That way you will always get it right, and know it's right.I would label each wire with the corresponding terminal number before removing them. I usually grab some masking tape and a sharpie but if you wanted to get fancy the home improvement stores may have a book of wire markers for not much money.
Not yet....need to charge the batteries. But hey, I swapped the switch after just getting home from having three tooth extractions!And you didnt even try to turn it over?
