Success !!!  Alex Dumble your imagination has come to life again. One day to clean all the old pots an re-wire the Humbucker circuit with a new On-On switch for that cuts the Gibson choke in and out. That was great, and the Humbucker sounds great again, with an .047 orange drop cap. DAY TWO: With the all the parts and push-back wire in hand I solder up the 3 pole/4 position rotary switch to my diagram. Months of  planning an years of waiting have all been worth it. I my plug 1967 Gibson EB-3 Alex Dumble Modified 1974 via it's XLR stereo jack to Y split to 1/4" plugs, to in-line Low-Z to High-Z transformer on 1/4" plug #1 and into 4 channel mixer channels 1 & 2. Out of the mixer/ Into my TC Electronics BH800 an VOILA!! Sound, Sound and More Sound.  All 4 positions work....and with a few minutes of alligator clipping in a selection of different caps...lo and behold the Kemet Aluminum Electrolytic 35v/4.7uf capacitor is the best sounding of the bun
On trying to fill Life Insurance Forms and Reflecting on my good friend Mack's loss of his wife Liza. There is no such thing as Strong When the heart is broken. When Life has ended. Because your Light is gone. There is no such thing as drink away the pain. When your other half has drained the cup, and left dry the World your in. There is no such thing as tomorrow. Even though the Sun comes up and sets. Because the Light that filled you rooms has fled. Even the Stars withdraw into their heaven net.
