Hi Don,
I may take a slightly different approach to the switch population.
Over the years I have scrounged many mini paddles similar to the NKK
parts in hopes of building a small computer front panel. I have
switches from American switch and C & K that fit the bill. I have both
the ON-NONE-ON & the (ON)-OFF-(ON) types., all with black paddles (see
attached picture). Some of the C & K switches are missing part of the
tab but even the IMSAI switches are only held in place by one tab
The paddles are removable, similar to the large IMSAI switches with
spring side tabs. They appear to take the same paddles as the NKK switch
and the paddles themselves are available in different colors through
Mouser, Digikey, etc. available. I was going to go with the red & blue
pattern but then it occurred to me to just replace half the paddles with
red ones and leave the other half black. The red toggles are 51 cents
each while the blue ones are 68 cents each so I will go with a black &
red scheme and save some money.
Here is an example of the red toggle Mouser PN 633-AT4149C

The blue toggle is the same part # with a "G" suffix instead of the "C".
Regards,
Jeff Galinat
