The 41 is unswitched and is significantly better than the PCB mount 142A.
The normalled connection in the 142A was failure prone which is why ARP
switched to panel mounted 42As in later 2600s.  The Tini-Jax line underwent
a revision not too long ago to make the RoHS compliant.  I was paying under
$1 each for 42A and 142As before the RoHS change.  Now they're $2.50 in qty
1000.  At least the 41s are still around $1 in qty.
