Default Wiring of EB-4L tone switch

when i had my EB-4L repaired because the tone switch did not function well, the guy 'fixed' everything by just taking all the wiring out! it was too complicated for him.
next i took all the parts to a guitar shop but there they wondered if this set of parts was complete.
so can somebody help me with information (scheme?) on this subject?

NOS = New Old Stock

An old car restorer's term, meaning parts that were never sold and just sitting on a shelf for years. I need to decipher the wiring and switch thing as I have a pickup that I would like to do justice to. Link away.

Sorry to be slow people - been on holiday

ok, the NOS switches are available from the greatdealz people

-there are none up now, but they put them up all the time - next time you check, they could well be there

Heres one of my EB4Ls from inside - switch is part number 3261931



Here are two switches being sold as 'nighthawk?' switches by the greatdealz people. They come in 2s - note my two are different, yet both have the same part number as above. I'm guessing they both function the same, despite looking a little different from each other. The switch on the left is the only type i've seen in an EB4L, but perhaps either type would work.



I don't have a photo of the inside of my previous EB4L, but I remember the plastic on the switch was the same dark blue as the greatdealz one rather than the lighter shade in my pic above.

hi Jules,
these images may indeed be helpful. would it be possible to make a screenshot of the page of the 1977 replacement parts catalog with all the parts mentioned in detail?
thanks,
rob
