Found a used pair from http://www.einmalig.com/ for $45 each. They are shipping today. Pelican and dealer did not have any stock and quoted $75 each. With ETA of about a month.

Hopefully the ones I get work well

BTW Steve at Einmalig was very nice to work with. They have tons of used parts apparently.

Just like Chris said, the panel was held by two screws and clips in the middle. The switch was held in place by two 7mm bolts. It was a simple unplug and swap. The top is back to good working order!!

Looks like it'll be an easy job to fix the old switch....project for another day.

Here are some pics of the process:
