The ones I saw looked to be in pretty good shape. I should have loaded up
on stuff when I was there (we were already moving a remote office back here
by truck in the first place) but getting the stuff from KC to Lexington, MO
with my rented Neon wasn't the easiest thing in the world...

Yep. Jameco has had them on closeout for a while now. (the 13201's
anyway) I think I bought about half their stock on and off over the last
couple months. (I order a couple dozen every time I order something else.
:-) Last I checked they were down to about 100 pieces. Cheap though--
$.89 each.

The 13201's should work in place of 13331's with the addition of an
inverter on some of the control lines...

Maxim makes some switches that look like candidates, but I don't think
they're pinout compatible.
