You probably want to order enough to replace all four encoders at once.

NOTE, the VFO-A and VFO-B encoder, as well as the RIT encoder, are 
*different types*.

If you qualify for minimum order size, then ordering directly at mouser 
or digikey is simplest, at least for us behind the EU customs wall.

Be sure to include diodes to protect your KLPA when you put in an order.
