Open wafer, shorting (MBB), rotary switches, 3 pole x 13 position. I used some of these many years ago to build Neve class-A mic preamps using the 1073 schematic. 13 positions allow for +20dB to +75dB settings including the "OFF" position (1073-style) or 20dB thru 80dB settings with no "OFF" position (1290-style).
These switches do not use 30-degree indexing (for 12 total positions) as is typical, but 25.7-degree indexing (for 14 positions), so keep that in mind for front panel layout. They are fixed for 13 positions and cannot be adjusted for fewer. Will come with washer and nut for panel mounting (though they're not shown in the pics).
Switches are NOS though solder tabs are a bit tarnished with age, so should use a dremmel metal brush tool on them before soldering. These are an excellent, cost-effective alternative to Elmas for people DIYing a class-A Neve preamp.
I have 8 total switches (two have already been populated and used in a previous build, six are unsoldered/NOS). $8 each.
