Marcus Miller Sire M6 parts question - need to replace the passive/active mini switch

I have an M6 five string that unfortunately took a pop from our guitar player while onstage. The mini blade switch from passive to active sheered off. Fortunately it was stuck in active mode and I was able to finish out the set with it. Does anyone know where I might be able to find an exact replacement (link?)? I've contacted Sire support, but thought to ask here since I would imagine I'm not the only person to have had this unfortunate issue. Many thanks to anyone who might be able to chime in and help.

Likely a standard on/on mini DPDT switch, but I can't really be sure without opening one of mine up and checking. Once you've got the spec, it's likely to be a basic commodity level item (as in cheap).

Found a pic, sure looks like a SPDT (three wires & contacts, not 6). Even cheaper.

The tricky part is if it's board-mounted. Earlier ones tended to be separate (smaller main board), but later ones seem to have almost everything on one board.
