You should be able to fix that. You have a picture so that will guide you in reinstallation. Take out the center rotor part of the switch and scrape all the burned part off with a knife. If there's any burning that has penetrated the phenolic that needs to come out with more scraping or a Dremel-type tool. Contacts can be cleaned up and if any rivets are loose, carefully restaked. Then slow-drying epoxy, which tends to be stronger than the quick stuff, can be used to strengthen the part.
