Richard,
Check Mouser part number: 629-g1138s1110.  It's from CW industries; they probably make it in other packages as well.  In fact, I imagine everyone makes it, distributor's just can't carry everything.

  I don't think I can make an encoder work. If the user happens to move
  the knob while the unit is powered off I don't think I can get the
  controller to figure out what position it is now in. Or do I have
  that wrong?
