I'm happy to report that this morning I bought an SPDT and DPDT knife switch
and a candlabra (sp?) base white backlite lamp receptacle at OSH (Orchard
Supply Hardware).  I'd have never thought to look there except that several
of the replies I received suggested looking there.  

Thanks for all your replies!
