I had seen these at Antique Electronic Supply, but I don't think they have them anymore. Honestly, $12 isn't a bad price for a guitar pot with a switch on it. It's not cheap, but it's not a rip-off price either.

May I steer you away from these pots? I've got one in my strat that's been terrible since shortly after installation. It's almost permanently in the out position; the retaining catch inside has worn out or something. I recommend a push-pull instead - seems to me there's less to go wrong.

Could you use a push push to save space in a 1590A enclosure though?

I thought they were called
push pull pots...

You cannot push them twice, have to pull again first hence...
The problem on stompboxes is that it's hard to keep the exact setting on the knob while pulling/pushing it. It takes up more space than a simple pot + mini toggle IMHO...

I have a Yamaha RGX from the late 80's that has a push-push for coil tap.
