Hi Richard,
whatever you do, don't throw the old switch away. If the plastic parts aren't broken they are usually fairly easy to fix. If you drill out the two (or maybe four) brass hollow rivets holding it all together you usually just have to do some contact cleaning and maybe a little bending and the whole thing works again. Be careful when you take it apart though, there are ball bearings that are under spring pressure that tend to shoot off into some corner of the shop where they won't be found for the next ten years. To put it all back together just replace the rivets with nuts and bolts. I've done two like that before and as far as I know they are still working.
regards
Bob
BTW: the one in the ebay link has already been opened before - ther are allen screws where the rivets should be.
