My corded electric lawn mower stopped working today. I'm pretty sure it is the switch pictured below since I can read voltage before the switch but not after.
My lawn mower is old enough that I can't find replacement parts online (it is a Homelite UT13118).
Is the switch from the lawn mower a more generally available switch such that I might be able to buy one? Would be nice to be able to fix the lawn mower instead of trashing it.

Yes. Hit up electronic component suppliers like Mouser or Digi-Key. They have a staggering catalog of switches and you are likely to find a match.
Prepare to spend a fair amount of time looking bleary-eyed at the mechanical drawings on data sheets to match the physical size.
It also helps to limit search to items they actually stock. If it says 6 week lead time, nope.
