Have a little project going where I need a mini rocker switch and want to know if there's a local store (Denver metro) that carries them? I've checked Home Depot and Lowe's and found several on Fleabay but they ship from China or Hong Kong and won't be here by the time I need it.

Probably Fistels in Denver.

Perhaps a Radio Shack store if you can still find one open.

NAPA?

Better hurry, Fistel's appears to be going out of business.

Looks like they are closed.

From Yelp

Fistell's was a great supply house. I was lucky enough to put together a deal with the owners to purchase the entire business. We packed it up and moved it back to Omaha. It remains mostly in crates but slowly we are working our way through. This massive supply of parts increased our inventory about 10%. Visit our website at Surplus Sales for updates.

Check some of the 4wd shops - I've seen a few around on display, but I can't remember specifics, sorry. Maybe HCP, 4wp, or Northridge?

Do you have Amazon Prime? $3.99 to get something overnighted.

You try radio shack [LOL]

Oddly enough auto zone or other parts place carries them. If not Call Mountain State Electronics. If they have them in stock, can drop by there tomorrow for you. Have to be in the fort anyway. Sucks about Fistells. Knew Mark, his dad & family a long time. They were The Place to go.

Ace hardware might have them. McGuckin in Boulder also might have them.

Went to radio shack and found a small round rocker that might work and also placed an amazon order for the mini rockers.....my prime gets them to me by Tuesday next week [Dunno]

Appreciate the suggestions, will keep them in mind for future projects!
