I know that DoClo has addressed using a single Push-on-Push-off switch with both a Hasbro Sound Board and an EL Inverter. But I've got a more general electrical question in regards to switches and sound boards.
I've got about a saber that I'd like to add sound to cheap. And The currently installed switch is the same type as the intended sound board requires. Example:
Old EL Parks saber with Touch On-Off latching circuit -> to add a Yoda MR board.
The question is... before I start ripping it apart, will it work? Can I just wire the new switch wires right with the existing switch? I'm assuming with latching switches... it's like the old Mad Scientist swiches where you can attach as many (+) wires to one side and as many continuing wires as you'd like to the other side and once the switch is thrown... the circuit will be made for all of them without issue.
Example of the wiring would be...
