Theft alarm key switch repair

[Mike E.]

Who has had one of these apart and repaired it? Any hints? Po broke both metal tabs off removing the wires. Plus, with the key turned to the right, I have no continuity between the two copper rivets/contacts that hold the (broken off) tabs on. I'm assuming that turning the key to the right aligns some internal mechanism so there is contact/continuity between the tabs/contacts on the outside. I'd like to use this switch because it is original and uses the original D key. This is the late 70-72 type switch. Any help is appreciated.

Mike,
Did you try contacting Pete Lindahl? He may be able to help you.

Jim,
I have used Pete before, and probably will here, too, but I still would like to know if anyone has been inside the electrical potion of these, and would have any hints. Thanks
