would check the breakers, just-in-case. Doesn't cost a penny to do

They feel solidly on.
Pretty much eliminated that possibility. Measured voltage across the two
connections on the switch. 120 A/C. In on and off positions. Seems to
mean that the switch is definitely bad. The voltage across the only two
terminals should drop to 0 when the switch is on. The switch should be a
short circuit then.
Now it's a matter of buying a new switch at Walmart today and getting
ambitious wnough to locate the correct power breaker and and brave enough
to replace the switch.
