+2 with respect to the new replacement switch. If it means getting your set working again, use it! I bet the memory of the plastic switch will fade rapidly when you have your radio up again.

Police band not only allows you to get the full modern broadcast band, it also has some interesting shortwave broadcasts on it.

Another option for getting a control would be to post what you need here in the Phorum. A Philco 60 control is not rare, and I would think that there are many model 60 parts chassis out there.
