My rotary switch is all fucked up, does anyone know how they work or how the wiring diagram works?

I really don't want to get another s-1 but I could sell the body for $250 and use that cash towards another one.

Do you want to keep the stock switch? It seems like you could just replace it with a similar one and only wiring up the configs you want/use? do you have a multi-meter? The switch is strat-ish and as long as the "pattern" of the switch wiring is followed it should work, it may just be backwards. What doesn't make sense about that drawing?
