Excellent link.  That ignition switch needs to be burned into every bricker's troubleshooting memory banks.

So far two out of my three bricks have had whack with that switch. 

The sucker gets intermittent and causes some very goofy whack that never seems to do the same thing twice.  The design of that switch is so bad it's a wonder it even worked when it was new.  There is almost no pressure holding the contacts together when the switch is closed.  Everything in there needs to be perfect for it to work.

Thanks for the great link!
Almost as goofy as the old 4-position Lucas switch. At least those were all metal.
