If you still have the old DR 577 switch housing you can remove the guts and substitute the guts from another switch. 58-59 guts are compatible to a 577 housing.

Most the major repro vendors sell them...not hard to find:

That is unless you want some NOS or rebuilt used one....good luck with that..
