[Milsurplus] looking for a 3P4T rotary switch

[Mike Hanz]

Thinking outside the box, you could do it for far less with a small 
rotary switch and some surplus relays, Eugene.  Thirty amps for a switch 
section isn't cheap, but it certainly is for a relay.

It could have more positions if there is an adjustable stop mechanism to allow me to restrict selections to 4 positions.  It could have more poles - I just won't use them.  It needs to handle 30A per pole.
