I found out the answer to my own question first.  American Micro Research
(Chino, CA) bought out Micro-Sci.  I called.  They don't repair or have
parts for the A2 anymore.  I talked to a technician.  He told me that the
switch is the same one used in the Apple Disk 2.  Looks like my best bet
is to pull it & see if it easy to match up.  If not, I'll try some Apple
dealers.
