1x24 and 2x24 rotary switches

Just found these:

Looks interesting and the price is good.
They are easy to modify if you need less steps.
The transportation costs for a small order would be significant.
Any thoughts about these?

These look very much like the Chinese ones available in several places:

I suspect most of them are made by Hong Yu Electronics. They even have a PCB mount version:

I have used a couple I got from hi-fi collective. Seem quite robust. Easy to solder too. They sit far enough behind the panel you can place the resistors horizontally towards the front wafer towards to front panel.

Purchased a few of these of evilbay a while ago for  my 2x 4 (ssl9k /api) channel pre's
Work fine so far all good, I dont see any info on the site on shorting or non shorting options.
Did find this audiophile nonsense though.......... ;D

Any audiophool will need this! (With teflon silver plated wire!  ;D )

Thanks for the link Ian. As far as I can see they only have the 12-position version as PCB mounted switch.
I have used the 2x24 switches (from China) in the past, but often I only need 1x24. It seems they are not so common.

I found their product range eventually:

I've used several of these "blue" switches with excellent results.  You can even drill a small hole in the nylon, insert a small screw, and have a stop.
YMMV

The only thing I would say against them is the action is a bit clunky. More force required to turn the switch than with Grayhills or ELMAs.
