OK, one of the acceptable numbers is ALPS #SKHCAB -- Mouser electronics
sells them as #688-SKHCAB, for about .66 each.
Other possible substitute: Omron B3F-4000.
As I recall, the procedure is to first delsolder the LED, which is holding
the switch cap on. After that's removed, the four switch legs can be
desoldered.
Good luck.
