Those "tape switches" are used in the incredibly popular "Dance  
Revolution" video arcade games.
Happ Controls has them, although I've used an alternative  
manufaturer's model and found it very robust.
--Sorry, can't remember the alternative manufacturer's name.  My  
local video arcade game repair shop had them in-stock.
