Subject: bad gear switch?

Gang,

In the last 20 hours of flying my Legacy I have now had 2 occasions 
where the gear would not extend via the gear switch.  Flip 
down....nothing.  Recycle....nothing.  Recycle...nothing.  Slow to 90 
knots and prayerfully turn the gear dump switch...voila!  After landing 
I can hear the pump running, so it's fine.

Both times this has happened I have been "on the road" (of course!).  I 
have lifted off with much trepidation knowing that I might have to fly 
home with the gear down...but then the problem goes away and the gear 
works fine.

Seems to me I have a switch problem.  What say you?

Also, where can I find a replacement switch...again, this is for the 
Legacy...

Thanks in advance!
