Any idea where to find a 4PDT rotary switch?

I have looked and looked but cannot seem to find a 4PDT rotary switch. Does anyone have any idea where I can find one? Preferably it would be a on/off/on switch.

Did you check the usual suspects?

I think I still have some Elma 4 pole, 3 position switches around here. They have the light detent springs installed which gives them a very nice feel. The common commercial rotary switches tend to be really clunky. I'll have to figure out how much I paid for them, but I don't think they were much more than $25. Shoot me a PM if you're interested.

I don't know if they have them, but browse around Nebraska Surplus. They have an amazing amount of stuff.

You might want to call Apex Electronics, too. They might hunt one down for you - I'm sure they have one in their amazing warehouse of parts.

Surplus Sales of Nebraska has lots of cool stuff. But DAMN they're expensive.

 

By the way, I'm sending him the Elma switch I mentioned previously.
