A gift . . . . because I was bored

Well I wondered if it was possible to use one switch for coil selection and a second for the combination . . . . turns out is is possible with 2 3 pole switches, one 3 pole 3 throw for coil selection (A, both, B) and one 3 pole 4 throw for selecting the combination (serial, parallel, serial out of phase, parallel out of phase).

I haven't tested this but the connections 'work' I believe:

The only 'mistake' I have to solve is the fact that coil B hangs loose (is not grounded) when coil A is selected. The only 'fix I've found is to use a 4 pole 3 throw switch there instead and use that 4th pole solely to connect B to ground in the UP position.
