The buttons are standard tact switches.
A number of manufacturers make ones that will fit fine, though in some cases
the square projections that the caps fit onto may need a little persuasion
with a file to let the caps on.
I use Diptronics switches from Rapid.

You can get the volume knob from Chipforbrains on eBay, though you may find
just stripping the pot down, cleaning it out thoroughly with solvent, the
re-lubricating it befroe re-assembly will give you several years more use
out of it - it depends on whether the track is worn out, or just dirty.

No, it's very specific to the 303.
I have just finished building a MIDI to trigger board though, that would
work a treat in a 606.
Come to think of it, I should probably put one in mine...
