Need some for a CD100H and my Rowe distributor tells me these are no longer available and they know of no source for them. I believe these switches have not changed for at least the last 30 years, so it's hard to believe they are not made to fit something other than jukeboxes. Anyone familiar with this situation?
 
That's apparently correct, no longer available is also what I've been hearing. I'm sure that a competing switch manufacturer must have something that's exact or a close replacement.

Seems like something that Mountain Switch would manufacture.
 
The switch number will more than likely be 30837101 and any switch from a R-84 onwards jukebox will do the job, I would just get a button bank off of Ebay and just change the switch/switches you are having problems with.

Thanks for the replies. Just pisses me off that I have never had to replace one of these switches in over 30 years and now this H model has already had two replaced and needs two more. Rowe's quality has really gone to the dogs.
 
Necessity is the mother of invention. Pulled some switches from an R84 keyboard to use as replacements and finally noticed that they can be taken apart. Thirty-two years old and the plastic tabs are still flexible enough to dismantle the switch without breaking anything. Clean the contacts, apply a little Liquid Gold if needed, bend the blades a fraction, and done in a couple of minutes
