I wounder if you could use a switch from an old after market shifter, I have a couple I could look at ?
 
What is wrong with the reverse switch you have now?

Not connecting to ground when you put it in reverse?

Works on the same theory as the dome light switch in the door post.

Open the door, the switch grounds out and the dome light comes on.
 
You can see in the 2nd pic some of the "bakelite" is chipped/missing. The backup lights arent turning on either. I realize I haven't troubleshoot but tight space to remove console right now.

Wrong. The 2 wires to this switch are connected like any light switch. Chassis ground happens beyond the reverse lamp bulbs.

Selling whole shifter assembly with reverse switch 75 bucks.

Gets to be a stretch, can pull the switch and mail to you, keep the rest to cut down on shipping to Canada.

Lol . . It's fun looking.
 
I'll take it George, do you take PayPal?

OK, yes take pay pal.

75 on the shifter and switch, it's used but does not appear to be damaged.

If it was mine I would take the gamble. It's all a gamble. Probably better than yours with the chipped plastic.

I will grab it and PM you when I get back from the swap.
