I'd try "Pinwall".  There is a 99% chance that they will have one and at about 25% of new OEM

Don't buy a new one. Your problem is the old grease in it has gotten dry. Open the cover and remove the VERY small phillips screw holding down the thumb actuator. Spray/scrape out as much of the old grease and then spray a contact cleaner in the mechanism. Relube all the moving parts with a dielectric grease (Super Lube at ACE). Reassemble and your good for several more years.

I've had the old one apart 3 times, cleaned and tensioned springs, lubed with dielectric grease. It works if I pull the plastic slider into the contacts but I think the contacts are worn out. I welcome any advice. Pat

Better to be judged by 12, then carried by 6.

I cleaned mine this spring. sigs would take awhile to come on when it got below 40 deg out. Cleaned all the old grease out and used steal wool/sandpaper on the contacs. I may even pryed them up a little. Works better. Try and not to get everything super tight.

I think I got it fixed. A pinpoint dot of dried grease was just enough to keep the contact open. Thanks for the input. Smiley
