Has everyone read my link at post #1378161. Nothing there about a goofy switch. Explains it all. The lever handle is a three position and was 47-48. CCW off. All the others are two position CCW off, CW ON. That's it. Nothing else.

If it is possible to put that section on wrong, that is the answer. As you can see, the triangle contact plate rotates to "all on" or "all off". If the sections were put together wrong it would reverse the CW/CCW like bowtie has. If the sections can be put together wrong it's Murphys Law. I don't see any "keying" feature on the sections. So it absolutely positively could be crimped on wrong. By someone wanting to clean it, fix it or whatever and put it back together wrong. If there is a keying feature, it was circumvented.
Without DADS50 picture we would have never figured this out. OK DaddyO, why did you take it apart? Glad you did.
bowtie: It means you can fix the Ebay one if you wish. Also you may be able to do forensics on it and determine if someone had ever bent the crimp tabs open.

Unless otherwise specified, I think we made the correct diagnosis. I would be happy to fix the switch if you can't send it back and want it fixed.
