1994 Jackson Fusion Std Professional - What blade switch is this?

[hominid4]

I bought this Jackson Fusion Std Pro guitar in 1994, I couple years later I handed it down to my 16 year old brother, he played it for a couple years, changing out the pickups several times (very badly), and he then retired it - and it's been sitting ever since. The pickups are rail pickups in a H/S/S configuration, J85, J200R, J200R.

Before retiring it he roughly put back in the stock pickups, not caring (or knowing) if the wiring was correct or not. I've recently got the guitar back and am resurrecting it, and indeed, the wiring is jacked up. The switch is either wired incorrectly (most likely), or soldering is too crappy or the switch is bad - the 1st and 5th positions of the switch currently have no sound.

Currently it is wired as (he put them on the 5-7 lugs to preserve the 1-3 lugs so he claims):
Bridge = positon 5 lug
Middle = position 6 lug
Neck = positon 7 lug
Output = position 4 lug

Before purchasing a new switch, I'd like to see if I can get the stock switch working, but I'm unable to find any wiring diagrams, and for that matter, can't find anything on it. It's a 7-lug blade switch, I see that YKE has a similar 7-lug switch, but would anyone by chance know if that's the same type of switch and/or of any wiring diagrams for this type of 7-lug blade switch connected with my J85/J200R/J200R pickups?

Thanks for any help in the right direction!

Sorry, looks like I'm unable to add attachments, here are links to the switch photos:

I'd just buy a new switch or new harness pre-solder with Switch, volume, tone and output jack. That switch looks like it would probably be noisy! Won't hurt the guitars value any who.

Thanks John, I'll go that route, with just getting a new harness. Would me just looking on Amazon finding the highest rated 5-way Blade Switch/1-Tone/1-Volume/Output Jack wiring harness work ok? This guitar will be used just for bedroom playing ever so often. Thanks again.

Yes, they also sell them on ebay or you can go more pricy with stewmac or others, most already have a good cap on them and all you do is solder the pickup lead in, very simple for someone that doesn't do wiring. That route is also good because you have new pot's which are often scratchy on older guitars and a good upgrade in general.

Good deal. And good point about the pots, especially after the guitar has been sitting up for almost 20 years. Thanks again for the info.
