I did some really deep digging the last 4 days (some 12 + hours on the lap top!) and I have found us a rectangle blue illuminated switch that is a drop in for these switches at least physically wise,but man they are not cheap!!
I have 6 of these in hand and when all is said and done with the cost of the separate blue lens and bulb they are going be about 60 bucks each, but at least WE NOW HAVE SOMETHING THAT WORKS THANK THE LORD!!!
These are rated at 5 amps and 250 volts, but are of the DPDT type so a current handling level for what we need even say for example in a K600 head will not be a issue.
Another good thing about this new switch is that you need to do a small wiring change to the Amp due to the bulb in this switch being a 12 volt one.
This change means you can un- power those two big 400 ohm resistors and free up some more spare current to have more clean head room and less heat inside the amp!

For those of you who want to see what they look like PM me and I will be able to by this week end send you a picture of what one looks like in a amp.
Time to rejoice folks!!!
