Hi guys, It's been a long time since I've commented here but I also have acquired a K300 PA with missing switches. After reading about this, I found this link. I am not in a position to measure the dimensions of the original Licon switch, but this might be a suitable replacement. http://www.e-switch.com/product/tabid/96/productid/51/sename /d16-series-illuminated-pushbutton-switches/default.aspx#ex1
See what you think. Kind of like the old purple Kustom (Dialight) lights in the older series, you can get the switches with different lens colors, if you so desire. There is a PDF specification that you can download and it is very detailed with every option you can imagine. I think this would be a great replacement.

Well the orange lens one looks to be the right style, although I could not bring up the spec`s on its size, I guess if its shank section id small enough it could just be black siliconed onto the amps front panel.
The 4 pole model would be the one to go with.

Steve,
The bezel is 18mm (0.709") square and the hole size is 16mm (0.630). The body of the switch is threaded and a knurled collar screws onto the body to secure the switch in the hole. At the 8 amp rating I think the DPDT would work in both switch positions, if you wished to continue using the ground polarity switch. If you decided to ground the amp, recommended of course, you could just use a similar lighted pilot light to fill the hole and look cool. I think I would use a SPDT switch for power and a light in the other hole for effect.
