I am rebuilding a 1915 coil box, I have a few here to pick out the best parts, all are missing a few wires for switch to box, does anyone have a sketch of the switch wires, Bob
I don't have a diagram, but I think I can describe pretty well how it goes. There are three wires to/from the switch. One goes from the switch to the strip in the bottom of the box to carry current to the coils. One goes from the MAG terminal (MAG & light wires shown connected to it, bottom right) to the switch. It should be connected to the switch so that current from the MAG terminal goes to the coils when the switch is turned to MAG. The wire from the BAT terminal (lower left, one wire shown) goes to the switch and should be connected so the current from that wire goes to the coils when the switch is turned to BAT. It's been awhile since I wired this, but as I remember it's easy to tell from the switch which wire connects where.
Thank you, that's what I thought but did not want to do this twice, Bob
I just found these pictures from then I repaired my switch last year.
This shows the repaired guts with new insulation installed. The brass machine screw at the bottom is where the wire to the contact strip attaches. The two side terminals are where the MAG and BAT wires connect.
The old rivet/terminals were toast, so I got some hollow rivets from the hardware store and drilled and tapped them.
Thank you, got it, Bob

That switch in your hand, is for a later T, not a '15.
