6 or 12 pole two position 6PDT or 12PDT switch

[Steve]

Is there a small sized (say 1 inch maximum diameter) rotary switch
with 6 or 12 poles and 2 positions that doesn't cost more than say $25
and does this without stacking together many decks ? Board mount with
terminals coming out the back prefered. I'm considering using three
4PDT miniature toggle switches (of which there are many) instead due
to my lack of finding something suitable.

Sure, at least the 6 pole 2 position. Try looking at Elfa (Swedish company) and Farnell.
