Default power switch for B&D DB5400-1

The switch on my Dust Buster 5400-1 has become intermittent. A thorough
cleaning and Caig-ing has not fixed it. (The battery pack is in great shape,
so replacing the switch would be worthwhile.)

I've looked around but nobody has the switch (#22 on the exploded view). Yet
another example of a manufacturer failing to supply parts for a fairly
well-made product that should have a 25-year lifespan. (When I needed a
replacement battery about 10 years ago, the local B&D store had it. Oddly,
it was manufactured on my birthday.)

Other than tossing out a perfectly serviceable item -- any suggestions?
Thanks.
