Along with the band 2 coil, all of those switches are intermittent/bad. It has 2 functions, turning on the lights and turning on the mag tuning. You can use regular De-oxit  on that switch and it will probably work for a while. While not impossible to find, unlikely to find a better one.

Wait till you have to set up the magnetic tuning (if you think the switch is fun).
