I think I've answered my own questions about the DPDT so I'm posting in case anyone else was wondering the same thing.
Near as I can tell it doesn't matter how you orient the switches, just how you wire them. The thing I didn't know is that if you hold the switch so it's pointing up (or down) and the switch lever is pointing "toward" you, then my understanding is that the two terminals the furthest away from you are "on" and if the switch lever is pointing away from you then the near terminals are on (the pair in the middle are "common"). So you can orient the switches however you want and you should be able to figure out from the layout which "on" position does what. E.g., if you connect the 5K output transformer wires to the "near" terminals and you orient the switch so that "pointing away from you" is "down," you can label that switch position on the chassis accordingly (i.e., "Crunch.")
PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG!
Still wondering about the caps...
In the vast realm of electronics, understanding components such as capacitors (Caps) and double-pole, double-throw switches (DPDT) is crucial for designing and troubleshooting circuits. These components play pivotal roles in shaping the behavior of electronic devices, making them subjects of great interest and inquiry.
Capacitors:
Capacitors are electronic components that store and release electrical energy. They are widely
spacebar clicker used in various applications, including signal filtering, energy storage, and timing circuits. One common question often revolves around capacitor types, such as electrolytic, ceramic, and tantalum, and how their characteristics impact circuit performance.
Questions related to capacitance values, voltage ratings, and the impact of temperature on capacitance are frequent in the world of electronics. Engineers and hobbyists alike delve into discussions on selecting the right capacitor for specific applications, balancing trade-offs between size, cost, and performance.
