The channel ON/OFF (red and yellow button) switches are the same ones
as used on an Audioarts R60.  They may be wired differently to the
plug on the circuit board, but that's  something you can figure out.

The switches HAVE indeed been discontinued, however there is a
fix-around designed primarily for the R60 series.  It may not look
cosmetically perfect, but it's better than tossing the whole console
into the scrap pile.

It consists of the switches used in the D75 (or R55) consoles fitted
into a small square adapter plate.  You use double-stick tape or some
other adhesive to secure the "plate" to the module.  The whole
assembly covers the hole from the old switch.

The switches are smaller, but they should be able to be made to work.

The LED voltages (for the lights in the switches) are different
between the D75/R55 series and the old R60s. However, these new
switches include LEDs to drop the higher voltage in the R60s.

It might be worth looking into.  However, don't tell them I told you
-- and don't ask me how I know. ;-)
