I'm getting together parts to build a Mark-8 (using a set of the PC
boards and docs that Steve G has been selling on eBay). I've got
everything but the case either on order or on hand, but I've searched
high and low for about 8 C&K #7108J4ZQE2 black lever-handle toggle
switches with no success. I found the SPDT switches, but I still need
the momentary ones. Any suggestions? Tried Mouser, DigiKey, Jameco,
JDR, Newark, and Allied (which is where I found the first type) as
well as several other smaller parts houses with no luck.
C&K/ITT/Cannon has offered to make me up a couple as samples, but I
need at least 6 and would be more comfortable if I had a couple of
spares.

Bill,
Can you post a picture of what you're looking for? How many do you need?
I go through a lot of surplus stuff and I can probably find a piece of test
equipment with some of them on it if you don't mind unsoldering and
removing them.

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>)

Who are they? Just in case others may have need for the same items.

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.
