Switch source?

[[nCn]Preacher]

I found a couple of places that sell those military-style, covered toggle switches (you know the ones you see in every aircraft in every military movie, the ones with the red flip cover) but am looking to find them cheaper than $13.00 each.

Anyone got a source?

While we are at it, I would love to find some of those push-button momentary switches with the clear plastic, flip-up square covers. Haven't been able to find a source for those yet.

Where should I look?

This might not be exactly what you need,

but you could easily add your own hinge if that was a problem. Here's one such example, the first Google result for "clear hinge",

Not sure about the "military-style" protective covers, though. I know what you're talking about, but I don't know of a better source.

Ive seen just the safety covers on a few electronic surplus sites... just google for it.

Thanks for the links folks. That cyberguys site will save me a few dollars, I need 5 of those switches.

I'll call the follks at Happ and get more info on those covers.

Anyone else?
