Does anyone know where could I find a supplier of 4PST, otherwise known as
hat or joy-stick action switches?

I've checked most of the major suppliers, and only Avnet seems to have any
idea that the things exist.

The other difficulty I've found in getting switch hardware is finding the
protective covers that go over top of toggle switches to prevent them from
being accidentally triggered.
