[sdiy] on-on-on switches with baton

[David G. Dixon]

Danjel,

Small Bear carries that exact switch for $4.75 each:

He also carries (at my request, although I have as yet to order any) the
standard DPDT On-On-On mini-toggle from Taiway for $2.70 each (GREAT
price!!!, and cheaper in high quantities):

Hope this helps.  :)
