Very easy to break and a very common problem. I had this issue with my
576 when I bought it. I did some research and posted the definitive
procedure to fix it.
/g/TekScopes/topic/74056702#167222You can't find the original switch, but repair is not terribly difficult
(although a fiddly job) and donor switches are easy to find on ebay. When I
did my repair around the time of that post they were around $11.
It still sticks out though; it may be worthwhile to put a safety guard on
the toggle to save it from being broken off.
