WTB - Grayhill Rotary Switch

[octavez]

Does anyone has some spare rotary switches Grayhill 71BDF30-03-1-AJN (12 position, 3 pole) they would be willing to sell? Or know where I could find some in stock. Can't find any online...

Thank you!

Since you probably want it from within the US, maybe check on what mouser says for arrival time

I’d check with blore-Ed.com.

They’re super helpful and can even make what you need at a totally reasonable price.

Edit: forgot to mention - super high quality too.

I sent an email to Brett! Hope he replies with good news. Not sure if they stock Grayhill?

No it won’t be grayhill (I don’t think). I’m pretty sure they only offer their own stuff.

But their stuff is really high quality, heavy, old school looking built like a tank stuff.

I was thrilled with an order of 4 custom switches connected to pots behind each switch. Reasonable. Did take a few weeks to get.

Oh yeah that's what I thought, we will see what they say. The one I need is pcb mount, not sure if they can do that.

Grayhill confirmed that nobody has them right now. We can order direct from them that should take 8-10 weeks, but they require to order 25 minimum. Someone need any? I only need 4-6 max. Let me know!

I think you’re going to be out of luck - they are expensive switches and unless you find a project that everyone needs them in, you won’t get many takers if any.

I would also check eBay and octopart.

What did Blore--Ed say?

Yeah it would be about $500 for the order. This is the switch used in the EZ1290 and EZ1073.

Blore-Ed is creating a similar 12 position pcb switch, slightly bigger, that should be ready soon! They will send me specs asap.

I've checked everywhere. Nothing is available right now. I looked all over the place. I was trying to build a couple of ez1290s but that's going to have to wait.

Want to split an order? 12 each? Lead time is 8-10 weeks.

I would but I only needed two for a recording project I'm working on. Can't wait. So, I'm going to use my UA 1073 plugins instead and just sell my 1290 boards.

8-10 weeks? Sounds too optimistic to me especially in the current situation.

Mouser has a 21-week or so turnround

My wild guess is that audiomaintenance have them in stock but they keep them for their projects. If that's the case, it might mean something.

Yeah even though that's what Grayhill told me. AML told me this morning they have orders dating from November...

That's what I'm thinking too. They have them in their kits and the kits are available for sale still. I think it might be a long wait.

This is the solder lug version unfortunately.

I’m looking for 3 of these switches and have been for the past couple months. I did place an order with that online-components company last month for 4 switches with a due date of end September but I’m not optimistic about that.
