u might get away with making your own using "make before break " rotary switch kit ,"caution: good up to 12 positions only !!!!"
this is not like el-cheapo rotary switches which can be bought for $2

the switches are available from RS-components

But u need to find and solder your own resistors !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

log on to the site at www.rs-components.com and then choose a country
but not all country have complete catalogue
the switch is available on australia site.

click browse item from the left frame, and go to switches section
you will find rotary switches and rotary switches kit
some of them are "break before make" which is not suitable for your application , they'r best left for source selector switch

basically you need to buy the main section and then add extra wafers (for additional channel) separated with spacers (also sold there)
some of them is good up to 6 or more channel
and u need to find and solder your own resistors~~~~~~~~~

make sure u order the correct size and model~~
