OK that's a side-operated two-pole 3-way slide switch with a long actuating lever. The first problem will be finding a replacement of the right size. Failing that, have you got all the bits from the existing switch?

I'm happy to do a bit of digging, but I make no promises - I'm based about 5 miles out from Altrincham.

I'm not a nerd, honestly, I just happened to be searching for components when I checked into Basschat for a break.

Digikey stock a switch which looks similar, but we need to check whether the pin spacing, etc, is the same. If your unit is USA designed thirty years ago, it may be imperial, and most components these days are metric.

The switch drawing in squares C6-C7 is the type you need (I think) so can you check the dimensions of your switch against this drawing. The pin-spacing-grid width and length is important, as are the locating lugs on the corners. The length of the operating lever might also be important if you want it to work.
