1983 window switch

So one day I was attempting to clean the inside of the switches for the first time ever. Little did I know what bombs they were. The first exploded while I was sitting towards the outside in some gravel. The second exploded but in my hand so I have the pieces. I have no idea how to put it back together now, or if I actually have all the pieces. Anyways, last time I looked at eBay someone wanted like 180$ for 2 new switches, and it was the only ones for sale I could find. Anybody know if there is an easier and or cheaper way to get my hands on some replacements? Not being able to roll down my windows in the California sun makes it undrivable

TL;DR - Lost my window switches need new ones. HALP

THANKS!

Black Dragon still had them last time I looked. They are kinda expensive.

Me too...sadly what I usually want is an SA-specific part, & all I find are FBs.

I miss living in Sunland in the late 90's - - All the nearby yards, and frequent SAs to be had.
