Much cheaper than buying them :)</p>

You can find them online in Penn. I have bought a few from the mfg. they are great and you can get free samples too.</p>

This isn't mentioned anywhere, and it could be my imagination, but do the two switches emit different types of noise? It looked like the right arm might trigger squeakers while the left arm triggers the juicier noises.</p>

Ditto for the foot switch.</p>

Does it need to be kept in the fridge? Does lead free solder paste have a longer shelf life than the 'ethel' kind?<p>Now if you put one of those foot switches into a flat balloon you could make an electronic whoopie (goldberg?) cushion. But you've probably done that already.</p></p>
