I think the 71 switch is a one year only unit, and is hard to find 
and expensive. I think it is likely that you could fix it with parts 
from a later unit, which ought to be much cheaper.

Consider buying a 72-3 switch and take that apart for practice, then 
use your new skills and parts to repair your 71 switch.
