Sure, why not Tony.  I wrote that with the nearest coco in the basement, 
and since that relay style can come in dpdt without the cloudy case giving 
a clue, only the bottom contacts would count, and of course I can't see 
those since the covers are on all but 1 of my coco's, and theres a good 8" 
of wood I can't see through from here.  Its called covering all the bases 
to mention dpdt. :)

I didn't look at the pix as I'd have to run firefox to follow the link.

Total of 8.
Correct.
 
> There are only 5 leads visible, so that would indicate SPDT

Also correct.
