    Ordered from parts express # 260-248 15 watt mono L-pad 8 ohm switch and finally received them. The post office is slow. Installed it and left the L-M-H board on high and adjusted the L-pad switch to slightly high. Volume is perfect and not too loud. If I put the L-M-H switch on low, the volume is almost none.

    My question is for someone who used these? Diagram shows to splice the one wire from the amp to the speaker and solder to pin 1. The other speaker wire goes to pin 2. The other amp wire goes to pin 3. When I adjust the volume from low to high, it is doing the opposite?
    I did swap pin 1 and 3 wires and still does the same. Turning knob to high decreases the volume and viceversa.

    Anyone have an answer as to why it does the opposite? Regardless, the volume is set to a reasonable volume and I am happy with that.

    I did a project last night regarding volume on two pachislo machines. I used the Gikfun 100K Ohm EK8359 from amazon. $8.50 CND for 5 pieces. Everything is ok but the volume from High to Low is concentrated on one spot and is very hard to control properly. There are two wires going to the speaker and I used only one. My main question is, Do I need to use the ground connector?

    The L pad that I bought from Parts Express #260-248 instructs you to one wire between the amp and speaker. Other wire from speaker to center pin and the other wire from the amp to the 3rd leg on the switch.
    I guess then your switch is grounded as my volume control goes from nothing to loud with a full turn of the dial. My issue as noted in my response above is that it does the opposite but it is controlling the volume to where it is acceptable to my ears!!

    Keep me posted as I might have an extra L- pad switch that I used.
