73 Challenger. The switch that turns the electric trim on and off won’t stay “in”. It’s a push once it locks on, push a second time it turns off. Two questions, can this switch be replaced with one made in this century? I have a new aluminum panel that has an AP on/off and avionics master and plenty of room for another.

2nd question, assuming the answer to the first is no, what’s the best strategy to repair? Replace with a salvaged switch, try to fix the existing one or buy new.

Not doing this DIY, just trying to understand options from those who might have plowed this ground already
