Have you checked at an autoparts store? It's between $5 to $10 at most auto part stores around here for a replacement switch.

That's a regularly stocked part at your local parts store.

Weren't they all pretty much the same at that time? Cheaper that way.

The same floor dimmer switch covers the years 1960 - 1991. Take your pick.

I know. Just figured if that was catalog he had in front of him page number could be helpful. If LMC was smart they would sponsor site though. I've only used them for certain things I couldn't find anywhere else.
