It might have worked. For about 100msec or so :-)))

No problem. In the lab nothing looks more high-tech than a nice big
Sauerkraut ball of wires.

OOPS! you're right

The circuit I posted was incorrect.
here's a corrected version.

[snip rest]

That looks like a goer. Well done, nice bit
of simplification. Maybe use 4-off 2PCO
relays, (2 in // to get the 3x C-contacts),
in chassis-mount sockets. Add 3x flyback
diodes across the coils. Just wiring, no
soldering, no pcb.

One company where I worked would have sold the OP a PLC :-)
