where to find reasonable priced 2P/ 11 or 12 position rotary switches ?

They do just bolt on. I have just had a look at my build, and while I think there was a small trick to it, they literally are stacked.

Up to 5 sections, IIR correctly.

IIRC, you buy a shaft section and add as many wafers up to some limit.

Use a BIG KNOB  as the multiple sections make it difficult to turn.

Excellent. I think I may buy a couple and try them out.

It does have a firm action, but a nice feeling to it.

One can 'almost feel' the levers clicking into place......

The Lorlin version is also modular

Start with this:

I used them on a preamp design and it is a nice switch.

Maybe adding this http://es.rs-online.com/web/p/espaciadores-para-interruptores-giratorios/0352339/ it's easier?

There's an ebay vendor in Bulgaria selling some very high quality rotary switches for reasonable prices. I think one option is a 2 pole 11 position, with end stop. I just bought 8 x more 11 pos single pole switches for my rackmount decade resistance box I'm planning to build, and the price was hard to beat. The quality is high, and they are made in Russia, supposedly mil-spec, with solder tabs.
