Other than the lights everything works great..It has a good bit of surface rust..What might I expect to pay for a paint job..

Congratulations! That is a nice looking machine. Surface rust is pretty common on these machines. If you want it to look brand new, a paint job can be pretty expensive with prep work etc. Personal preference really, but it doesn't look too bad.  A light switch can easily be found at any ace hardware store. It is just your basic micro switch. Take it in there and you can match it up.

Nice V63, looks pretty straight, The light switch can also be found at Lowes hardware & HomeDepot stores, it is also refered to as a canopy switch. look down the eletrical supplies aisle.

also you might wish to double check to make sure it's not a bad lamp, starter or ballast, as for paint, I have a simular machine I'm having painted ( with a surface-rusty top like yours) I will run aprox. $400 with some light sandblasting to clean up the rust. you can save some money by preping it yourself if you know what you're doing body-work wise.
