Anybody know where to get a new Master window switch for a 70 Deville?  I had mine and a spare and have taken them apart so many times that the frames won't pinch down the contact tab any longer.  I haven't had much luck with 40+ year old electrical stuff so I want a new one.
I see them for $20 or less all over the place but they don't fit the older ones.  Any ideas?

Google Cadillac Tim in Iva SC, he should have them at good prices.  They are also on e-bay all the time, just picked one up myself as mine failed.  Be careful that you do get a 70.  The switch prongs on different years (not sure which ones) are thicker and the plastic connector with holes will not press on (you think you can make it happen, but you cannot)-this happened to me too.

OK, I'll try Caddy Tim.
I have one off of ebay and it went bad too.  I now have the 2 of them Frankensteined into one.  I'll try the superglue trick too.  Maybe that will work.
Thanks

My condolences!  I went through 4 on my '56 before I also "Frankensteined" one that didn't disintegrate when I ran the window!
