If what you want is to use it with an Amiga, you'd either have to find a way to fit something like a cocolino inside the mouse...  
Not a bad idea.
The tank mouse also had inexpensive contacts for the mouse buttons.  After mine wore out, I tried to replace them with clicky micro switches.  It seems straightforward, but matching the heights and location of the actuating nub was difficult.  My repaired mouse never had a good 'feel'.
