Default 68-71 Brake Light Warning Switch

Anyone have one in good shape (a working bulb would be nice too)? Mine
fell apart... and well I just can't stand broken things.

Thanks

I'm pretty sure I have a couple downstairs, or just a bulb if that's
all you need.

What actually fell apart? I can usually just put these back together.

I'm pretty sure it's busted. Lemme dig it out and have another look. I
think the tabs were broken off of the lens and the spring rusted and
broken into bits.

Nevermind, I managed to fix it. I glued the little metal contact back
onto the red lens and it seems to be working again.

Thanks,
