This should at least be close: you'd have to transfer the lever over from the old switch.
Honeywell Microswitch
If not there is a whole series of different levers to chose from.

Steve this switch will not work! I might have to find a junker machine! This switch the original has two wires soldered to it the switch you are showing me takes three wires! I have some of them!

This is a three terminal switch (We'll call them "A,B,C"). When the button is depressed A is connected to B, but not to C. When the button is released A is connected to C, but not to B.
It's a selector. Two of these are used on the motor terminals of DC motored machines to select forward or reverse. One selects (+) when the other selects(-).
What you can do to control the lamp is connect A and B and leave C flapping in the breeze. Now it's just "On" or "Off".

I tried that it does not work! I need the original one! I no someone with a junker so I will take the switch out of that one and put it in! Should solve the problem?

What happened? Did the lamp stay on all the time, did it not come on at all?
This could get a little freaky if you connected C instead of B: The lamp would only come on when you turned it off!
Use C and B without A: just darkness!
I did a donor transplant once and used a former motor switch: the lamp switches take a beating.

The lamp does not come on at all! I replaced the lamp socket and the lamp no luck! So I checked the lamp switch and found out its bad! So once I replaced it that should solve the problem!

Nice repair!
All those insulators, switches and plates stacked up!
(Nothing to do in a hurry!)
Best of Luck!
