...but no links to the actual switches used, I have been looking on Mouser & Dig-Key but a link to the actual switches used would be very helpful...

Google knows all and there is no original thought :/

Any small momentary switch from TCSS will work under the graflex red button. Also you can get a 3D printed dual switch holder over at goth 3D designs on shape ways that can hold two small momentary switches under the clamp card. I am currently building a vintage graflex TFA version with full crystal revel. My chassis is the goth Graflex Knight chassis

This is what I've always used.

...they did not have links to the actual Snap Action Switch, this is the information & link I am particularly seeking

This thread had an actual active link on mouser I believe... from '08 no less. Worth a look:

I would like to thank everyone who has taken the time to reply.

I have been using these threads that I found doing a Google search for "how to" setup the "Side Slider Switch" as the aux button;

The links being posted are to Tactile Switches which I understand are used for the "Red Button" activation button but are not the switches referred to in these threads, which are snap action switches.

What am I missing or not understanding about setting up the "Side Slider Switch" as the aux button.

Any help explaining the process for setting up the "Side Slider Switch" as the aux button and a link to the switch would really be appreciated.

Those are my pics. Here's a link to the snap action switches... http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail...vzCo9AhSpbV%2blGqZcG4AxkzgKL2Pe8z3aTJ1VTZQQ==

Sadly, the tab on my Parks V1 broke so I have to machine a few parts and modify the sliding switch on the upper can to still be able to use the snap action switches. Not sure when I'll get around to it, lol.

I simply used another of the TCSS tactile switches under the slider. I glued the slider in place, and affixed the button to the switch.

Thanks ARKM for the super quick reply to my PM and the information & link posted

No problem. It was a very tricky thing to do, but it did work.
