Looking for plastic keys for Akai MX-73

I just finished rebuilding a junked Akai MX-73 MIDI controller , and the thing
works fine except some of the plastic keys are broken.   I've
spent a long time looking for these.   Trying to get through to
Akai is a nightmare.   The local authorized repair depot
(Vancouver, BC) doesn't have them, and tells me that in order
to get them from Akai USA  they'll have to pay a $30 brokerage
fee, since the company only ships UPS and it would have to
go through UPS's greedy, nefarious customs brokers (rather
than the $5 it costs to get it past Canada customs).

	Could anyone help me with a source for these keys?
I'd really appreciate it.

	Thanks,

			Mont.


P.S. about 4 keys are broken, and I've already moved the broken
ones to the right end of the keyboard.
