I posted this in the “everything else” forum and didn’t get much of response, maybe someone here can help out.
I’m looking for a 4 position rotary switch to build an A/V selector. Does anyone know of a suitable switch I can use? Do I need 6 pole to separate all the grounds or can I make them common for each component?
I would just like to build a simple box with 4 inputs ,1 output and a rotary switch to select different source components.
Thanks,
Rick

Old fine
I have started using some really nice old switches. These are Centralab steatite bodied switches. The contacts are all silver plated.
On ebay these sell for anywhere from 2.00 to 10.00. A dual pole, 4 postion switch non-shorting.
I like to wire mine up like Croft does their preamps. Use an old number of positions, and wire every other position as a ground. This makes muting real easy. I have used both shorting and non-shorting types.
