3 way rotary switch, volume & tone
Any electronic wizards know how this switch would be wired for a simple volume / tone circuit for two single coil pups?
I cannot find a good answer using the internet search so far. A diagram for dummies would be amazing.

‘Tis a 3 pole / 3 position rotary switch
Not sure if that’s obvious in the above photo

I would have to probe it and draw it out. I think you treat the center lugs as the “output”, but you’ll have to jumper some sections to get it to do what you want.

The datasheet at the bottom of the page here shows how the lugs are linked.

Thank you, Doug! I’m really bad at this stuff without a diagram. Someday I might learn 🤪

Quick and dirty sketch. Think this’ll work. You only need two of the three poles and you can think of those like the two sides of a standard Tele-style three way lever switch — there’s a common lug and three switched lugs for each.
I think the numbering should be correct but double check the starting position for the switch corresponds with the #1 lugs.

This was the direction I was thinking, too

Thank u so much, Gerry. Really on a time crunch and this helps immensely.

I just finished up 3 instruments and gotta book it up to Minnesota from Tucson Arizona 🤪
