Alternative to grayhill 1 pole, 12 position?

[ramshackles]

I've found it virtually impossible to get hold of Grayhill 71 series PCB mount, 12 position, 1 pole switches here in the UK.

I found this:
http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/rotary-switches/0352294/

Which should allow me to horizontally mount a lorlin switch, but I can only find limited info on it...
What do they mean by wafer and what does the 6.35mm pitch refer too?
It puts terminal spacing as 2.54mm, so I could probably use the same grayhill PCB footprint for this.

Oh, I do have some hundreds in stock in germany. Let me know if you want some.

You can't. Grayhill pin spacing is odd, something like 1.92mm

They are readily available in the UK from Audio Maintenance:

Thanks Ian & Volker. Totally forgot about audio maintenance! I should keep these smaller places bookmarked...

Not to worry.I think I asked the same question about a year ago and some kind soul pointed out audio maintenance. Glad to be able to return the favour.

Cheers
