    Hi Robyn2839,


    replacing control switch for AL330 lathe-img_2951-jpg
    From the picture of the new switch it looks like when the switch is turned to the right, connections 2 & 4, are made and so are 6 & 8 and when turned to the left, 1 & 3 are made and so are 5 & 7. There won't be any connections made between the front and rear switch banks unless you deliberately link them.
    Best Regards:

    Hi Robyn2839,

    From memory the contact layout is the same but the switch is rotated by 90 degrees.

    But I have no way of checking that.

    You really need a multimeter to check that this is correct. Both the front and rear sections are the same.
