Quoted from lothian:

Why not reply EVERY extant leaf switch with microswitches?

It’s doable!

Quoted from GKW:

Does anyone have any pictures of the microswitches with the capacitors attached? Just want to know the correct placement.

You don’t need the capacitors on the microswitch. Only the diode.

Quoted from GKW:

I bring this up, because after I had finished placing the new microswitches and rebuilt the other leaf switches, I received a closed switch error in test mode for the #3 rollover. Since it has been rebuilt with new parts, and gapped correctly, I know that it is something else--something in the switch matrix. This is why I am concerned about the capacitor. I rebuilt the original leaf switches with the correct replacement diodes and capacitors (where called out in the schematics).

You need to clarify which switch you’re talking about, preferable the switch number from the switch test. #3 rollover is not reflected in the manual.
