Pass signal or its inverse

Hi,
We have a square wave oscillator....sometimes we want to pass through the signal itself, and sometimes we want to pass through the inverted signal. We want to change between the two with a single manual switch.
Can you think of any easier ways than the attached. I guess an analog changeover switch is good but they are often nil stocked....if i put one on the test pcb, its bound to go nil stocked.
Any other ways?

LTspice and pdf attached of the "bad" way

Feed it into an XOR gate. The state of the other input determines if it is inverted or not inverted.

thnaks, but that doesnt fit the bill here, as attached

Tiny gate logic, a single XOR gate ?

Here you go...(wasnt sure if you wanted digital or analog inversion. I showed digital)

So, what is the "bill"?

if your input signal were bipolar, i would have recommended the following: use an analog 4-quadrant multiplier. signal on the X input, switch to choose between a positive or negative DC voltage on the Y input. with positive on the Y input, output is noninverted, with negative on the Y input, output is inverted. advantage here is you can replace the switch with another square wave generator, and get it to switch automatically.
an XOR is the digital equivalent of the same function. since your input is a TTL logic level, use an XOR gate.
