Adding off/on switch to goodrich matchbox

Robert Rogers · From: Manchester,TN

Does anybody have a picture or can tell me how to ad a mini toggle switch to turn the battery off/on with an original super sustain goodrich matchbox?

Robert,
I did it to an older model,6A.
I got a mini switch at Radio Shack, drilled a hole in the bottom of the unit, by the output jack, an attached the wires going to and from the battery to the output. You need to look carefully where to drill the hole- it was a tight fit, and I had to wrap the body of the switch in electrical tape to prevent it from grounding out on the Matchbox chassis, but works like a charm.

I also put a switch on my 6A, however, I added it to the top just like the one on the 7A.

Thanks Bill. Is it a off/on switch or a on/on switch?

It's a two position switch. Center pin for each of the two poles (independent circuits) contacts to the outside pin matching the handle position.
