[sdiy] Yamaha DX1/DX5 parts?

Hi everyone, I know it's a bit of a long shot, but I'm looking for a few
parts used on a DX1 or DX5 .

Specifically the tall/narrow profile ALPS switches used on the front panel,
and some of the blue switch caps with LED windows. The switches are more
important and if necessary I could have someone model and 3d print the
caps.

I've scoured old ALPS, Omron, and e-switch catalogs looking for something
similar for the switches and I'm coming up blank, but haven't managed to
find any mid-80s catalogs yet. They're extremely narrow/tall and have a
frame that holds them in groups, though mechanically they're all totally
independent.

Also curious if anyone knows about these rubber actuators that they used on
the wooden key bed, or where I could find more. All of them have a white
crust which I can't tell if it's intentional or not, or if it's some kind
of dried lubricant.

Thank you for any assistance!
