I believe a standard ~15amp switch will work. But I'd pull it out and check it first. Both to confirm the size mounting hole and to see if hitting it with contact cleaner loosens it up.

OK so he's a pic of the switch. I've been looking online and I found 2 options on Amazon but both have the wrong amount of connectors. I need 4 and they have 6. Can I just buy one with 6 and not use the 2 extra? It looks like the one I have here had 2 of the connectors removed to make it into 4 maybe?
Link to the 6 connector toggle on amazon:

EDIT: just saw that the specs on that amazon switch say: 20A@125V AC, 10A@ 277V AC 1-1/2 HP @ 125-250V AC
but my switch from the cab says 10A@ 250VAC, so maybe not that one?

A switch with 6 contacts will likely be a DPDT (Dual Pole, Dual Throw or On-On) switch, whereas you want a DPST (Dual Pole, Single Throw or On-Off) switch. You can treat the former like the latter by just ignoring either the top or bottom row of contacts, depending on how you want the switch lever to behave.
The switch you have can probably be made as either type by the addition or removal of the extra 2 contacts at manufacturing time and would be designed that way to save on costs rather than produce two separate designs.

So long as you have enough poles for the spade connectors it's fine to have too many. What you have is a LR-39145, but what series? there should be a series number printed on the side.
Example 7000 series.
With the series, we can probably find an exact match. But the ones linked by @nem or this one from Amazon should work as well: https://www.amazon.com/Maintained-Multiple-Function-Quikconnect-Connection/dp/B008FM8SWM/

Weird... OK, let's try this. How was it wired and is it single or double position? Meaning, if you trace the wiring where is it going to and where is it coming from? And is it on/off only or is there a third position the switch can be in?
I'm thinking that it's wired double for the CRT isolation transformer and the JAMMA board and should only be single position. So double pole single throw as @bodgit shows. Hard to tell form the pictures what the size is... but here's another possible replacement: https://www.ebay.com/itm/394894809068
Here's an 8000 series E60272/LR39145 as well: https://www.ebay.com/itm/201576314898 but it's listed as a momentary toggle switch, which isn't what you want.
