Default Switches on 30 y.o. tools

Many of my old Craftsman power tools have the switches going bad and they
don't carry them anymore. Most of the stuff is from the '60's and early
'70's - circular saw, scroll saw with the rotating blade shaft and a nice
small router. I am mostly interested in the scroll saw because it's the
best of the three. Actually, come to thinkof it, I can replace the router
switch with a standard SPST electronic switch (think, your first car's
dashboard with the under-dash lights). Is it salvageable?
