Prelude
Have you ever taken anything apart and wished you had taken better notes or photos? I have.

This is the first in a series of posts I plan to make over the coming weeks that detail the internal construction of various things. This is not intended to be step-by-step instructions for repair/removal/disassembly/etc.

Rather, I hope this post (and future posts) can serve as a reference for people who would like visual clues in making their own repairs.


Snowflake Switch
Take care, this is an assembly with a high "boing factor"
Snowflake Switch Exploded
Conductor Barbells and Springs
Orientation Considerations
In the photos below...
Yellow: Conductor Barbells must align with switch tabs
Orange: Holes for bulbs are different shapes (open ended vs fully enclosed)
Green: Alignment key for corresponding notch on switch outer housing

I'm thrilled you like these posts. I do have pics to support many many more "What's inside" posts. The rainy fall days in the Pacific Northwest are soon upon me, so I'll post some more as the days shorten and grow progressively damp.

I'll throw out a 'Welcome to Carpokes' doormat!
