New Memeber SH-101 (How to Hardwire Power Switch?)

Like to introduce myself...

techno...

I'm an avid DIY'r and have modded/built the following gear...

Moog MG1 - convert to midi (synjack)
DR-110 - breakout box to cahnge voice parameters (tuning decay snap)
SIDbox V2 - built a stereo SID from the uCapps site using the 6581
sid chip... Presently building a mono version

Purchased a red 101 for $100 about a year ago and have resurrected it
from the near dead... It was coverd in grime, has a dead F# key,
transpose toggle snapped off, missing battery cover, and broken pitch
bender handle... Fixed all of those but still can't get the dead key
working will try again later...

Followed the tuning calibration document and still have tuning issues
and have discovered it is the power switch... When wiggling the power
switch it will change tune... I removed the switch and soaked it in
electrical cleaner and resoldered it to find no change...

So does anyone know which of the 8 traces on the switch PCB can be
bridged to bypass the switch?

As for my intro I do not mean to come off as a braggart and just want
to give some background about myself...

Thanks...

bri.
