Product was great but no wiring diagram included.
Trying to find the correct wiring diagram for the DPDT push-pull pot was an adventure in itself. (None is included with part). The first problem is, online wiring diagrams show color-coded pickup wires at specific connection points of the switch, BUT nearly every pickup manufacturer uses DIFFERENT color coding for their wires! You must painstakingly cross-reference your pickup’s wire colours to the diagram’s color-coding if your pickup is anything other the diagram’s example, for “North start”, North finish, South start, South finish,” Then after that, if connecting as indicated, the result is, the “coil tap” mode is when the switch in the down position, not (as is more typical), when the switch is pulled out. Had to change wiring again to make it work as desired and here’s the kicker, I am an electrician by trade! I can imagine the frustration of a non-electrician trying to figure this out. A valid wiring diagram (coil-tap when switch is pulled out) with different manufacturers’ color codes would have helped immensely.

High quality pots/switches
I use these pots/switches for phasing, coil tapping and series/parallel switching. The taper is smooth and the switching is noiseless, what more can I ask for. I've tried other brands but have ended changing them a couple of months later so I'm sticking with CTS.

Very good quality
These pots work very well. The audio taper sounds really smooth and the switch is nice and quiet, no click. I really like the printed circuit soldering for the switch. I've burned out a couple of Alpha switches as the solder posts seem to be set in plastic and are fragile. Overall these CTS pots are very good but I do wish the bottom was metal so they could be soldered to ground instead of soldering it on the side
