Very ingenuius way to fix the problem. Main advantage seems to be
that it will handle different makes of rotors.

Here, since I use tailtwisters on 3 of the towers, I merely wired a
Cenralabs 8 pole 4 position switch so that the 1 control box may
simply be connected to any 1 rotor by simply turning it to that
position.

Of course, the common poles of the switch go to the 8 rotor wires,
and each 8 position switch poles are identically wired to molex
plugs and then the cables to the actual rotor.

Nice going.
