Sorry, no US part number.
Replacement switch for the superEgo is

http://www.maplin.co.uk/push-to-make-foot-switch-34489

...but just checked out the S-E and the EH provided switch looks
nicer than their usual ones.
I take back what I said about cost cutting in this case, it does seem
they upgrade the switch for the SuperEgo.


I used that Maplin one on the KillSwitch...but note that it *wasn't* an 
exact replacement.
Killswitch is push to break, replacement is push to make.

Now that doesn't matter with the Killswitch, there's a control which
reverses the function of the switch, so it still works perfectly (but
the legend on the control is reversed).

So.. would that switch work on a Freeze...I don't know.

Someone out there with a Freeze has to open it up and put a meter 
across the existing switch.

Danger is the Freeze turns into an Un-Freeze.
