You might be able to fix the broken switch. I have a 37-116 where the magnetic tuning would not turn off/on. I found that there was an "L" shaped part that was supposed to sit in a "U" shaped part. One side of the "U" had bent over. So the bottom of the "L" would glide right over it without changing the switch position. I was able to bend it back up and lubed it well to hopefully prevent any physical resistance that would lead to it bending back again. I don't flip that switch on and off very often, but so far it's held up about 2 years now.

This post of mine shows what I'm talking about:
