The end of the story.
Pascal,
Thanks for the tip! The vacuum switch I needed was a bit different than the one you posted and it cost a bit more (surprise). It was, with taxes, $202 US. Not bad so I bought it and a friend in Hollywood will bring it back with him in May. Overall a much better price for me than WM.
I took the old vacuum switch apart and found out the problem was not the switch but a small round plastic disk that had cracked and broken. It's probably a $2 part that they don't sell. I am going to have my son (the first born) make the plastic disk on his 3D printer and see if it will work on the ols switch mechanism. If it does then I have a backup part if, and when, my other head's vacuum switch decides to go on me.
Thanks to all who shared their ideas.

I think the new ones use a metal washer / disc.
