Tiny toggles?

I like the mountain switches (and their cheap clones), but I've been searching for something appropriate for tight spaces, especially something short enough on the inside that I can fit a PCB on top in a 1590B. Does anyone have a part number or link?

Smallbear has some tiny pin mounted On/On SPDT's. I just got a few. However, they may not work well in all situations. If you are using 16mm PCB mounted pots they might be too small.

I have gotten my hands on similar DPDTs but I don't remember where, unfortunately.

Those are short bat -- is the body of the switch actually smaller, too?

EC has absolutely deadly shipping, but if I'm getting 20 switches that make a lot of builds easier, it would be worth it.

How about these: http://www.banzaimusic.com/Low-Cost-MINI-SPDT-on-on.html ? Shipping to the US would be quite costly, I presume, but I can help with that if you like.

FWIW, they're sturdy too; I've used them a few times.  At half a buck a throw (no pun intended) you can't go wrong.
