Hi Arturo,
Personally if it was me I would not skimp and do the job right. After all
these boards are going to last someone another lifetime of their Polysix!
However, if you really can't reorder then two suggestions.
1. This switch is only used to set up the d/a convertor. Normally it is open
circuit. Why not just solder in four prongs of header in the corners of
where the switch should go and when you come to the d/a setup solder in two
wire links across the top lengthways to close the circuit.
2. You live in Ottawa, Canada, right? (I had a look at one of your
websites!). There must be someone on this board who lives near you who is
ordering some components some time soon. If you are out there make yourself
known to Arturo and help him out!
Cheers,
Andy
