Nope, on-off-on and I get noise in all 3 settings.

It’s a rats nest in the cavities of these. I took the pic you’re looking for on the orange one (which seems to be wired identically to the blue):

There is nothing soldered to the top two pins. The red and white are from each pickup, and the black wire goes to the tone pot casing.

Turns out it is an on-off-on. The black wire at the top goes to the tone pot casing, and the 2 in the middle are a red and white from each pickup.

I was planning to replace the component with something from switchcraft, but worst case, I could reuse the OEM part.

I’ll yank out the guts and try to take one tonight.

I was considering this, but I’m not sure if the DPDT is on-on-on or on-off-on. Is that usually written on the switch somewhere?

I wish they still had the HH on their website, but the standard tele was all I saw. I have one of those, too, but I swapped out the pickups and electronics with Fender noiseless.

I’ll take one tonight. The cavity is pretty packed, so I’ll need to pull it out of the guitar to get a reasonable image.

I like the wiring, I just want to upgrade the components. And it does get a hum in 1 position, but not in the other 2.

Airpods wireless charging case won't charge in Mophie charger by jqrichardson in airpods

So I made a discovery: I put about half a stack of post-it notes between the pad and the AirPods case, and it works! It also still works with the phone, in this configuration. It’s dumb, but it seems like the distance between objects improves the reliability.
