[Boatanchors] On/Off rotary switch

Good Day:

I've spent most of the morning trouble-shooting a Meissner Signal Shifter.  Finally found the problem where I should have looked in the first place:  The AC on/off switch is kapoot.

Went on-line to all the usual suppliers in an attempt to find a replacement switch.  While I found thousands of rotary switches, I didn't find one that is just a simple, two terminal, single-pole, single-throw rotary switch.

Perhaps my search-terms were wrong.  In any case, does anyone have, or can tell me where to get a device such as this?

It can't be a pot with a switch.  I have several of those and they would protude too far into the cabinet.

The switch does look just like the old 2 watt pot.

Any help appreciated!
