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.
