Is this my old sweet switch?

Hi all,

I'm trying to restore my 1986 Standard 24 to it's original condition, as much as possible.
I found a 5 way rotary at the PRS store through their support folks, but they don't have any sweet switches. My guitar had been changed to a 3 way toggle instead of the 5 way rotary, and the sweet switch toggle changed to a toggle for single coil vs double coil. I've regretted that change (tech thought it was a good idea at the time).
Anyway, I found a toggle switch in a baggie that probably came out of my guitar, is this the sweet switch? Is there a way to tell? (sorry I'm not very technical, just more of a player).

also, PRS said they no longer have a schematic for an '86 wiring setup, any idea where I can find that?

thanks for any help!

Nope, it would be a mini 6 pole DPDT toggle switch with a black rectangle device soldered to the pole side.

 
darn it. I'll have to search the house, I had no idea it would be tough to find the sweet switch. Thanks for the reply!
 
As it turns out, the old sweet switch may still be in my guitar, but it's been adapted to be a toggle for single coil / double coil.

edited to say, we'll have to find out what's left of the sweet switch and if it can be resurrected. I did find one (in a wiring harness with a 5 way rotary) but it's really, really expensive.
