I am happy that the old switch can be repaired because I will not need to have two keys on the chain (one for a new switch and one for the doors). Plus, the historical integrity of the car will be maintained.
While you are doing business with Tony, go ahead and have a set of spare keys made - he has the real blanks.

I was able to get a local locksmith to make a set for my Dad one father's day, he had to use a different blank and re-shape it to the correct profile before cutting the set. This is pre-intertoobs ... but the set works.
