Hi guys, i have a 3pdt switch that id like to use but one of the corner lugs(the one that you would connect to out on the pcb is broken...i overheated it when desoldering with my first build and pulled it out by mistake....can i still use this as a switch of some sort?

Sure. Just use it as a DPDT for something! Or, use it as a 3PDT but with a different wiring schem that does not need that lug. Basic bypass with LED can be done with it.

If the other lugs and the internal mechanism are still functioning (you can check that with your DMM while clicking the switch) you could still use it as a DPDT. Put that in a Millenium Bypass configuration (check Geofex) and you could still have a LED!!
