Went out and checked mine. The switch looks kind of like this. Metal pushbutton, metal body, screw terminals on the side. As Dick pointed out, it is similar to an automotive starter button, and I found this one at Autozone.

Be aware, though, that it probably needs at least a 3/4 inch shank (the threaded part) in order to go through the mounting board and have enough threads left to take the washer and nut. This may count as an "extended shank", which may not be easy to find. (NAPA has one that looks like it might have a longer shank.) The alternative would be to counterbore the underside of the mounting board, and then strengthen the board by topping it with a small metal plate. Mine does, in fact, have such a small metal plate.

I'm sorry that I can't see mine better, but it is tucked in a dark corner, and it is raining too hard for me to consider disassembling the whole thing.
