I looked through the Misc. topics and didnt see this, so hopefully its not a re-post.

Does anyone know of a store that sells mini switches, both locking and momentary that way I dont have to pay to ship a few dollars worth across state? I have heard of very tiny ones such as 1/4" where you can have 2 mounted side by side (one locking for LED and one momentary for sound) and attach one "main" button head to both so that they are essentialy one button. Also does anyone know if a DPDT switch is made with 1 side locking and the other momentary? That would be much easier?

Double Pole, Double Throw = DPDT
A pair of on-on switches which operate together (shown by the dotted line in the circuit symbol).

i buy alot from those folks and they got just about every switch immaginable. Just to let you know when they say Sub mini or micro mini they mean it. I bought some sub mini sliders thinking they'd work in graflex but they ended up being so small like dip switches on a board. Hey Lan-ed-tul is your momentary a lit switch? Iwould love a lit switch for that location on one of my graflex sabers also.

no. its not a lit switch, but that thing was sure was small. i had cut some grooves in the side of Tims holder to allow the wires to lay in them up to the switch under the red button. it fit perfectly. unless you were to get a TGS core, like i have for 3/4 EL. it was milled out for a larger on/off switch, that he included with my purchase. but they arent big enough to fit a 1 inch blade for the led setup, yet.
