and ps to Joe Gwinn.... if you had a unit style Start/Stop originally,
you should have a big enough "hole" to mount a decent sized double
pole toggle switch, even from Radio Shack, and suing both poles you
would double the electrical life of the switch.

I thought of that, but the problem in the switch was mechanical, not
electrical, so I opted for a mechanically simpler switch that is made in
the US. With any luck, this will outlive me.

The failed switch will be autopsied, time permitting.
