Too cheap for 3 way switch...

[house]

Hello out there. I have a question on switching. I have a 5 way switch in my tele. I had 3 pickups, and have since converted it back to a standard tele N/B PU configuration, but I'm not wanting to spend the dough on a 3 way switch at this time. Is there a diagram witch can show me how to get the two pickups working together from a 5 way switch set up?

Here is thread that discusses the same thing. Basically if you wire the 5-way switch the same way you'd wire a 3-way switch it will function as follows: Positions 1 and 5 will be neck and bridge pickups on their own (just like it normally would). Positions 2,3,4 will be both pickups. This is a mere coincidence but a lucky one. And it'a actually pretty useful and convenient. It easy to get the switch to the outmost positions 1 and 5 and you have bigger chance of landing on the "middle" position since it's 2,3,4 so all you have to do is land on one of those and you're in the middle.
