I found a local fan store a few years ago that stocks all kinds of parts including switches. The store owner takes the old switch and literally breaks it apart, then compares the cam that was inside the switch with a chart he has. Doing it this way I have been able to replace most switches without a problem.
I don't do too much repair work on ceiling fans anymore, the cost of a new one is just about the cost of a service call nowadays.
