Hello,
I recently got hold of an EKO 350 guitar (at least I think that this is the model) which I decided worths getting restored.
The problem I came up with is that all the wiring is destroyed (has no wiring at all) so I cannot figure out how the schematics for the 4 button pickup selector system should be..
Here is a close up of the switch
Is anyone familiar with these sort of selector switches and their wiring?
Thank you in advance

Re: Eko 350 Schematics
Your pics don't display. Load them to imgur or similar.
Looking at online pics, the rest of the wiring can't be too complex ... 2 pickups, 1 volume, 1 tone (?) ...

Finding a schematic could be difficult, so you may just have to work it out. Do you know what all the functions of the switch are ? ... Pickup 1, pickup 2, both in parallel, 4th position ? Series ?

Re: Eko 350 Schematics
I believe that they are now visible?

About the wiring I believe it should be something like:
I don't know the button functions..Maybe something like:
I really have no clue.
I've also found some pics online using capacitors and resistances on the tips, something like treble bleed wiring

About the wiring I believe it should be something like:
- Bridge(hot) @ Switch Tip 1
- Neck(hot) @ Switch Tip 2
- Switch Tip 3(out) @ Volume pot(in) @ Tone pot
- Volume pot(out) @ Jack
- And everything else Grounded :
Bridge(GND),Neck(GND),Switch(GND),Volume(GND),Tone(GND), Jack(GND)
I don't know the button functions..Maybe something like:
- button 1: neck pickup
- button 2: bridge pickup
- button 0 : both ?? phase reverse ??
- button M : killswitch ??
I really have no clue.

Re: Eko 350 Schematics
I have a four pickup/six button Eko/Galanti p/u and switch set. I can post you some pics of the wiring that still exists . . . I am going to have to redo it all.

Re: Eko 350 Schematics
Here's a link to some pics of my four pickup/six button switch setup . . . you can see that there are four contacts at the end of the switch deck. Pressing the different buttons creates contacts with different combinations of the pickups. I am assuming that the signal goes from there to the tone and control pots and then to the output jack. HTH
