3 way switch question

[DOG]

Hey everyone. One of my 3 way switches broke on my TX . My question is , can I take my broken 3 way switch out of my Spektrum DX6 TX and replace it with a 3 way switch from a Walkera 2801 Pro TX?

My thoughts would be yes, you can do that. A 3 way switch is a 3 way switch. As long as you solder the wires properly, yes, I would think you can do that. However, before you begin....wait for someone else to come here with their thoughts.

Thanks Derek for your input. I hope so but I will wait til I here more thoughts from the hangout members.

It probably depends on the size of the switch where it goes through the tx.
If it fits in the hole and has 3 pins I cannot see any reason not to use it.
Just make sure you put it the right way up and wire it correctly.

Thanks guys, I thought i could but wanted to make sure. This is my first switch replacement.

Should be OK if they're the same/ similar function.

Thanks Grahams. I took the two radios apart and sure enough the switches seem same/similar to me. Time to operate

Well right before I started cutting wires, I decided to try something first. I use this on all my house hold electronics

Well that help with one of my 3 way switches not being 3 way. I only had Normal and stunt 1. The other 3 way switch lever broke from a fall. Now my 3 way switch works and I have a back up switch or I can replace the one that is still broken . I only need one 3 way switch to operate so I should be good to go for the time being.
