This is so true. Before I ordered the switches I did, I "built" one from the
data sheets using longer bat handles and a smooth collar (instead of the
standard threaded collar). No one carried it, not even Future-Active.

Although I think this project might have some popular appeal, I can never
imagine needing to order 25,000 of them :-)

It is too bad that is not 25,000 switches you need, then you could order
just what you need from
the factory. Mouser does has some nice NKK paddle switches instock for
SPDT on-none-on for $4 each
and $5 for (on) off (on) on page 1032. But then what I like for
switches may not be what you want.
