The toggle switch shown in Pauls drawing is a standard DPDT (double pole, double throw) type. The rotary switch is a 2 pole 3 position type. You may need to get a 2 pole 6 position with adjustable stop and set it for 3 positions.

The circuit there is unbalanced of course, do you want it balanced? If so, you will need a 4 pole, double throw toggle and a 4 pole 3 position rotary and double the wiring.

Cheers
Tim.
