How's this? There is a Panasonic switch listed in Digi-Key's catalog
that looks like the switch. The only catalog I could find handy is
dated Sept. 1986, so the price may be more than the 36 cents listed.

Super Thin Flat Knob
Digi-Key part # P9950
Panasonic part # EVQ-PXR04K
1         .36
10      $3.30
100    $30.00
1000  $250.00 (In case you really want to stock up! :-)

Digi-Key (800) 344-4539

If this works out for you, please let me know.
