OK, I've received some Futaba (Type 1) and upright stem SMK (Type 4) switches.
(The Futaba ones comprise a mere 9 parts, compared to the 16 parts that make
up the similar Futaba design.)

Does anyone have any spare angled-stem SMK (Type 2) or "PED" (Type 3) switches?

I was going to ignore Type 2, but I noticed on 8bs that the Type 2 keyboard 
has both black and cream switches -- I have no idea why. I was not expecting
that! Also, Chris Richardson notes that they're less reliable, so it would
be interesting to compare their internals. I didn't think they were any different
inside.

Regards

Daniel.
