For the 12-position switch I'm using http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Lorlin/CK1589/?qs=VJkHNLJxjTdaqJSSkQqjTw%3d%3d

There are 12 poles on the back. There are twelve hash marks on the panel. When I rotate the knob, however, I only have 11 positions.

Rotate all the way counter-clockwise to the position marked '5' (on the circular Thomas White panel from Bridechamber). I can click all the way up to '15', but I can't get to 16.

WTF? Question

sometimes rotary switches have a way to 'lock' the max number of contact positions. look at the datasheet to see if it's not activated in the 11th position.

That was it! There was a strange lock washer that apparently kept it from hitting the last spot. Thanks!
