Actually, that's a potentiometer, or "pot". I has a switch piggybacked on it, not uncommon. Is it the switch, or the pot (variable resistor) that is bad? To replace it from a generic, you will need to know the resistance of the element inside. There are a number of places to purchase these things. I may have one myself. If so, it's yours. Is there a marking showing XXX ohms, or anything like that on it?
