What I'm asking is what defines these switches? From working with pedals I know that potentiometers are basically a variable state resistor, and you can deviate pretty heavily to get a project working, or just leave them out of the chain if you have a resistor of value lower than the pots spec to use temporarily. These Lorlin switches are doing what then?
I think they are just routing the signal from one location on the pcb to another based on switch position. The degree of travel is simply asesthetic, and 30 degrees of index angle is rather meaningless to a faceplate I will engrave myself. Correct, I could use a 90 if I wanted?
Then we have shaft style, which again is meaningless to me becuase I can modify that on a mill if I need to. Most knobs have set screws anyway. So fully round should be just fine. Same with termination style, if they have *something* there I can use them. I have no problem mounting the pcb's for the swithces to the base of the case.
Then they are either shorting or non-shorting. What does that mean?
Decks, and Poles per Deck, I don't understand either. What is their relationship to one another and to the signal routing? Mouser is the only place in the USA that stocks Lorlins, and they don't have the 1049 or the 1050 as described in the G9 BOM. Ordering anything from overseas is a terrible chore. I searched the internet several times with different variations on "Lorlin Switch" to no avail. So I need to make a substitution here.
Thus can I substitute the following:
for Lorlin CK1049 which has 30 degree indexing, 1 pole, 2-12 positon-
a Lorlin CK1024, CK1054, CK2372, CK1450, CK2393, CK1554, CK2376, CK1044, or a CK1034 found here

the only difference is the shaft type and whether they are shorting or non-shorting.
then the Lorlin CK1050 which has 30 degree indexing, 2 pole, 2-6 positon-
a Lorlin CK2369 (non-shorting)
