[sdiy] where do I find Moog (ish) Rocker Switches.

[Dr Strangelove]

Well OUCH!.

     Is it just me or does it seem that the number of different kinds of 
parts has been decreasing?, I mean in General.  It seems there is less 
variety available for this kind of stuff....  Even hardware stores seem to 
have less variety of stuff.  I Guess that relates to the "Mass Extinction of 
the dinosaurs" thread about discontinued ICs.
