Building a Footswitch for Vibrato/Trem

Hi I have an old Univox U45B that i don't have a footswitch for. I tried using a two button Fender (Channel/Reverb) but it didn't work for either button. Then I used a Four button Twin-Amp Fender (Channel/Reverb/Effect/Trem) and the Reverb Button did the trick. Now, how can I build a footswitch that works?

You just need any old switch that will close the connection between
the two wires of your cable. A typical push-on push-off switch would
be a Carling 110-P :
