Will it operate from the existing power switch? i.e. not using the air switch

Yes it can operate from the existing switch, all you have to do is once you have connected the electrical supply , connect the air switch with the small plastic pipe and silver button up temporarily, switch on your wall electricalswitch and press the air switch once this will start the in sink erator , then switch the machine off using your electricalwall switch and remove the air switch without pushing the silver button This way the unit will work from electrical wall switch all the time. If you decide in the future to connect the air switch it’s just a matter of connecting the small plastic pipe to the silver button. I in fact used it without the air switch at first as I did not want to drill the work top, since then I have mounted the switch on the front of the dummy draw in front of the sink. All instructions for not using the air switch come with the disposal unit, it took me around half an hour to put the new unit in

What is an air switch?

It's a button that sends a jet of air to the unit switching it on and off

Would this be a suitable replacement for a model 65

I replaced a model 65+ with this model in Feb 18. It was a direct swap, no modification to any fittings and has been as effective in operation since, no noticeable difference in disposal.
