PAS Selector Switch Replacement

Having done a number of component replacements and upgrading to my PAS-2, I just got a 2-pole 6-position rotary switch (pictured below) hoping to replace the existing old and cumbersome one.



First of all, please bear with my ignorance, as I'm not really good at electronics. I've come across rotary switches/potentiometers with a lug as circled in the picture. What is the use of this lug? Is is for poisitoning/orientation?

Then, there are 14 terminals on the rear of the switch (as shown in the picture below)



and I do not have a clue as to their designation, i.e. which is terminal #1, which is #12, and which is #A/#C (the arrowed numbers are my guess only) when referring to the connection diagram shown below



Thanks very much for your help.

Hi,
I guess Joe Curcio was not much help on this since he did not sell you this switch.

The "circled" tab is the locator pin as you suspected. Most modern rotary switches
include this tab which corresponds with a panel hole to prevent the control from
rotating. Assuming your installing this in an original PAS chassis...If so, just bend
this tab back or cut it off since There are no locator holes in the original PAS front
panel. The connections you note of (1) through (12) and (A) & (C) look correct to me.

Maybe Roy Mottram can comment on this?

Advise here on the Dynaco Tube Audio Forum is free of charge...No purchase necessary.

Happy Holidays,

BTW, there is one small typo on your diagram. Terminal (1) should be labeled "Special(R)" not "Special(L)".

Best Regards,
