Normally I use push-button switches exclusively in av-bays, but the problem I've been finding is that they just don't fit very well in a 54mm or 75mm coupler. (At least the ones I use.) I am looking to go back to screw switches for their size and reliability, but the problem seems to be sourcing them.
For my 75mm MD rebuild I'm using those Featherweight screw switches:

But I'd just rather not spend $5 per switch plus shipping if I don't have to, so does anyone know of any cheaper and/or local options? I can seem to find any name-brand hardware or electronics stores that carry anything like this.
I've also heard that those rotating 110V/220V switches work well, but I've never used them before. Any thoughts on those? (Again, mounted inside the airframe.)
