I was extremely lucky to have bought about 35 1/2" Grayhill 12-position
rotary switches from a guy about two years ago. He was selling a few on
eBay, when I spoke with him I mentioned what a bugger they can be to
find... he said he was testing the water, having bought more for "the
project that never worked out". He said he'd sell all of these new
switches to me for the same unit price the auction closed at - about $2
each!

The things are so useful! I have maybe ten of them left, when they're
gone I am going to cry and write songs for them. Very rugged, great
action.
