McGill switch from a NOS Block grinder doesn't work... any hope to fix?

if it's broken, you have nothing to lose trying to fix it.
if you can get into it non destructively , it might be worth a shot. but you may end up with parts flying , no where to be found again, too , or not being able to figure out how to get it all back together
Good luck.

Shouldn't be that complex. Imo, the hardest part will be getting it apart without the plastic clips breaking off.

That looks a bit new to be serviceable, w/o breaking stuff. I took one apart on my trucks power window switch (2006), and we all survived. Maybe google for instructions?
This is similar design, but may be reversing, May fit in the whole. Other options out there at that current rating, maybe just not there.

it's probably basic inside, the rocker assy, a spring , and a set of contacts . should be fairly straightforward

Have you jumped across the switch to make sure the grinder does run?

If it jams, force it.
If it breaks, you needed a new one anyway
Bust that switch open

Before you take it apart, try spraying a good shot of Contact Cleaner into any small openings in the switch and work the switch back & forth a dozen times. I have rescued dozens of "Broken" switches using this technique. Internal corrosion can keep current from flowing, particularly if you live in a coastal area.
