terry still has some left, but his stock must be getting low because the price went up from $5.00 to $5.50ea in the last week or so.
Quoted from BR80:Anyone know the best place to buy bulk / bare cherry switches, minus the diode and arm?
That depends, are you trying to find bulk replacement switches, or trying to do something custom? If you don't care about direct replacement (same mounting hole positions), This site sells dirt cheap cherry switches:

Also, try www.digikey.com
search for cherry microswitch
Lots to choose from, with and without actuators
Thanks Guys, need a few for a restore and hoping to keep extra on-hand.
Would like to do something similar as Bryan Kelly did in his IJ Restoration Thread.
Hard to read in the picture, but looks like DB3s.
Those holes must line up like DA3s, just body size different?

The body size and mounting screw positions are the same for DA3 and DB3; DA3 had the center terminal (NO) offset toward one end terminal (NC), while DB3 has the center terminal centered between the end terminals.
Here you go $33.00 for 200.
$9.00 shipping
