I'm trying to replace an existing 1 gang (2 switches, horizontally) 3 way/4 way combination toggle switch and can't find one locally. Does anyone know where I can get one of these? Thanks.

I've never heard of such a combo. There would be almost zero demand for such a thing, and it would need at least 8 screws (making it pretty crowded). Are you saying that you currently have just such a device? Can you read a make and model off of it?

I have seen a single/single combo, A single pole/3-way combo and a 3-wy/3-wy combo, but thats it.
Please explain what each sw. operates and from how many locations each switch operates from.
It may be a terminology issue. IE: 3-way operates 2 locations, 4-way is in the middle of a 3way
ex 3 sw 1 light. single, is that 1 spot.
