From: "David Griffith":
Digikey seems to have the right ones.
Do you know the part numbers for full-size switches? Are they
stocked, or are they "we can get these if you order enough"?

I got as far as buying the Rit, but I haven't done the experiments

The colors are where I got stuck. I haven't
been able to make
actuators come out the color I want, not to mention repeatably.
If one can't get repeatable results, then it would be necessary
to cast a set of them together (so they'd come out the same color).
Have you considered making the switches from white nylon and dying them
afterwards? Rit is supposed to be good on nylon. Now what about the switches
that go with the handles? Are they special?
Not terribly, but no-one stocks full size slide switches much
anymore.
