Finding a rotary switch for an original MXR Phase 100...?

[putrefusion]

Hi all,
  I'm fixing up a motley old MXR Phase 100 that has a totally kicked rotary switch.  In any case, I'm having trouble locating the part (Dunlop says they dont sell them), so could anybody recommend me a replacement?  

It is a four position (supposedly) and has 6 terminals on the bottom, 1 of which is seperated from the other two (on one side).

You need a 2p4t rotary switch.  probably one of equal or less thickness than the existing busted one, so the circuit can still fit in the box.  All it does is switch feedback/regen on and off, and switch the depth low/high.  They wanted to do it all with just one switch, to cover the 4 possible combinations of these two different things.  Its sw2 on this layout from GGG.  I *think*  JD Sleep's layout is the same or at least real similar to the old MXR layout.



editorial section:
The whole thing of having one 4 position switch to do 2 totally different things always seemed pretty wack to me along with the inscrutable  drawings of waveforms in the 4 different positions on that sweet orange box.  seems like 2 toggle switches would be way better for someone starting from scratch.

Uhh, did you read the line of type at the bottom of the image you posted? Or does that not apply to you for some reason?

Doesn't that just mean you can't host it anywhere except GeneralGuitarGadgets? And he didn't either.

But we're digressing.
