Allied Electronics (www.alliedelec.com). Like I said, I cleaned out
their stock, thinking it might be nice to have a few spares for the
Mark-8 or my IMSAI. They seemed to indicate they could get more, with
a 6-8 week lead time, though.

Well, I found the actual switches; they had 24 of
the ones I need 11
of, and 6 of the ones I need 6 of, so I took 'em all. Expensive
little buggers. (Is it bad if I spent more on parts to build a Mark-8
than it would cost to go out and buy a deluxe WinTel box running at a
zillion gigahertz...? <sigh>)
