Henry,
Go to this site's "site search", philcoradio.com, and search for P.B. switch replacement. There are several techniques. I am about to try the one detailed by Ron, with the switch from Lowes, on my 41-295 which has an open on/off switch also....evidently a common problem. If you come up with a different good fix let us know.
