I have a Pro Standard pedestal fan that was purchased from Lowes
probably 8-10 years ago. It has good velocity and fairly sturdy
construction (metal blades, etc)- except for the 3 speed switch which
just broke.

I have tried searching for a replacement switch and haven't been able
to find much at all. I paid pretty good money for it and would like
to be able to fix it rather than pitch it.

Have you tried contacting the manufacturer? Do you have a picture or a
circuit diagram? Is the switch located where you can retrofit a
replacement? Do you actually use all the different speeds or are you like
me and have it always at the same setting? If the latter is the case it's
pretty easy to convert it to a single speed fan with a little soldering.
Much easier to suggest fixes in detail with some photos, especially of the
switch wiring.
