OT: switches..

[lightningfingers]

Anyone know where I can get a 3P6T rotary switch?

That's a lot you're asking! The biggest one I know of is a DP5T rotary from SBE. You caould use one pole for a bunch of DPDT relays to make it a 3P5T though...

Typically, a rotary switch has 12 positions, or throws.  From there, the throws are divided by the total number of poles.  So, a 2 pole normally has a total of 6 throws, etc.  To get 3 poles, you'd normally be limited to 4 throws, unless you get a stacked rotary switch.  This will normally double everything.  Check out this switch at Mouser.  It's a 4 pole 6 throw, but you can simply ignore one of the poles:

That's about as close as I can find to a 3P6T.  Hope that helps.
