you may want to consider determining WHY the switch is bad and repairing it. Since it's busticated anyhow there's little chance of you making it worse...

Go to an electrial supply house and get a generic pressure switch for an air compressor. Square D makes them for about $20. go to http://www.grainger.com
and click the "grainger item #" by the product search bar and put item # 1v628 to see an example.
