3 way switch just went kaput...replacing?

Have an Ace hardware anywhere close - knob still won't fit:

Wow, look at that price...I went to an Ace to get the switch I got, but since the one I got was the only one they had I'll have to look at a different Ace!

I found the numbers on my old switch, it does say 1A-250V-3A-125V so the switch I got should be fine, yay! Unfortunately it feels like my kitchen switch is about to go and I can't find another switch anywhere! Guess I bought the last one in the county (and the next county!)

The old switch you have, "IS NOT" the correct switch.

The ratings should be as you see them in the photo, posted above, as per Airstream.

Thanks Andy, that's the size I'll look for then, if I can ever find one.
I stopped at six places yesterday and each one kept telling me I didn't know what I wanted. One person actually told me that I didn't want a light switch, I wanted a fan switch. Ahhh!
