[sdiy] The wages of buying cheap ass components...

[harrybissell]

I've had good results with C&K but you need to determine if you are
'dry circuit'  or power switching.   Arc them just ONCE and the dry-circuit
rating is gone forever... as they say in the datasheets.

I use the flatted-toggle that have the anti-rotation pin, These are MUCH
better than standard bat handle toggle.  So much so that I use one in my
drum pads (which remember folks... I STAND on...) and I kick it with my
foot from side to side to switch drum patches !!!
