Hi Daniel, Have you tried Maplins? They have a branch in Harlow and the computer shows a stock level of three as I write this. The item code is JK27E. The price is £3.19 each. http://www.maplin.co.uk will get you the details, just type switches into the search box at the top of the page.
Hope this helps.

Cheers, 62440.

on ebay there have been a pack of 5 go for £4.95
£3.19 that is a bit on the steep side for a switch?

Hi Daniel. Yes, I agree, so steep it's almost perpendicular!

Try http://www.allcomponents.co.uk for much more reasonable prices.

I have bought switches from MicroMiniatures and thought them reasonable.
