A local supplier called Aztronics (not Altronics) here in Adelaide, Aus.,
stocks
switches like this, except they are nothing like those found in the 909,
mc303.
They are small and black, with a lowered end tab on the top of the switch
that
houses the LED... heres a little diagram....

I think they retail for $3.95Aus. each, less if you buy heaps. I am thinking
of using
the for my 606 combined ModBox machine (replacing the 606's internal
switchboard
with a new one, fitted with these wonderful switches) and for my 909
clone/sequencer
project. They have a real positive feal to them, and i;m sure you could
replace the LED
with a mutlicolour one for cool accent/flam indication.

If you really want, i could send some to you if you organise some money...
