Trying to track down a source for 24 (23) position Elma 04 series switches. I order some from DON audio several months ago and they are still somewhere out there in the ether. Probably not their fault given the current shipping and supply chain issues but I'd like to try and find some in North America if possible.

Thanks

Newark has Elma switches:

I don’t see the 23 position multi pole switches they are unique and complex
 
The US office of Elma was selling direct a few years ago with a low minimum order. https://www.elma.com/en/

I've reached out to Elma again, maybe they will respond this time.

Newark doesn't carry the 04 series unfortunately.
Maybe I should look into another switch. What's comparable out there?

There was a specific person who was dealing with direct sales. I remember corresponding with him. I just checked my email but don't have it. You might need to find the right person.

If they are going to be soldered potentiometer style you could get Goldpoints. I think it's worth the extra money to get the PCB's. So much easier than soldering directly to the solder tabs. Blore-Edwards has 24 pos multideck switches.
