Vintage kenmore dryer with broken door switch

[amajo319]

I'm not sure the year or model of this dryer because the label is unreadable, but the switch the door hits that makes the dryer turn on and off broke. Would there be a good place to look for this part or maybe a universal part that would work? Thank you.

This is a Lady Kenmore dryer. Early 1970s.

It's practically a common hardware piece since Whirlpool has been making this dryer, in one format or another since the 60s.
