Vintage Synth Repair

The blue one was used on many products,  the Kurz k1000 and k2000. Although the 
color is black on the later versions, the knob and foot print are the same. I 
think I once used the blue ones on something and found that the knobs that 
worked with the black one would not clear the slightly smaller plunger, although 
the knob mounts were the same.

Subject: [vintagesynthrepair] Help identify these switches please

  
I'm working on a dorked Kawai R100 drum machine and I need to locate some 
replacement switches. See the photo here:

It's the blue one I'm mainly after. I think the black one is a standard Alps 
switch (like you'd find in some PC keyboards from days gone by). The blue 
one that I'm looking for appears to say JAE  and D0 on it. It also looks 
like I could disassemble and clean them, but while I have the beast open I 
thought I would try to source replacements. They are used on the drum 
machine for function selection and they bounce like crazy so it's hard to 
make the intended choice.
