41-290 On/Off Switch
#11

The switch I used for my 41-280 was almost identical internally to the original. I got it at Ace Hardware, but I imagine that style of switch is commonly available, at least for now. The Ace stock number is 33494 or 33495. The only difference is the color of the push button, brass vs. chrome. You'll throw that part away, anyhow.

You may need to use the spiral plunger and spring from the new switch, since yours probably doesn't have the original, having been fitted with a different style of switch. It took me a bit of tinkering, but I got it to work reasonably easily.

I wrote a post on it years ago, in this thread. http://philcoradio.com/phorum/showthread.php?tid=7296
