From the description, I cannot determine if these are 2-12 adjustable stops or 12 position continuous. One is good for the step switch the other good for the octave switch. These appear the OK diameter for all rack mounting and all but the top switch in wood cabinets which requires a switch of smaller diameter.
Hey Larry,
Not understanding the first part....I'll have a go anyway.
The switches don't rotate continuously (i.e., all the way around) they go from say 1 o'clock to 12 o'clock (a la the Blacet FD), and so would be better suited for octave switching IMHO.
The diameter of the (back of) the switch is a bit more than an inch (looks like 17/16"). I'd forgotten about the mounting issue with the switches and the wood cabinets and the thing.
