Surprised you found a switch for that seat. I recently had a failure in the 8-way switch on my Knoedler seat. I contacted both Knoedler and Seat Specialists and was told that my model seat is discontinued and parts are scarce, especially right-hand switches like on our Newells.
Mine failed in the 8-way switch portion that controls the fore/aft movement. Luckily, the wiring and motor are identical for the fore/aft and front tilt, so I swapped the two. I now have fore/aft adjustment which is critical, but no tilt now. I am planning on purchasing a generic reversing momentary switch for the tilt control and mounting it on the left side of the seat.
