So i found this old VGA switcher when going though old computer parts at work.
We were going to toss it out, but i asked to keep it because I thought I could use the case for a smaller amp I'm working on.
I opened it up and realized this rotary switch just connects the two VGA inputs to a single output with this 2p18 throw switch. On the second picture the 2 position rotary connects all the red wires to either the orange or the yellow wires.
The first thing that came to mind is possibly using this in a Muff to switch out up to 18 part values at once.
Any other ideas on how to use this to its full potential??
Also I found these things are selling on ebay for less than $20, and could make a nice amp case.

I feel sorry for the poor bugger who had to wire that up, brand new.
