Hi tfonzart,
You mention about the button fitting through the holes is not good. You can put a dot of cheap rubber cement to hold in place, but most times they fit snugly.
The poor fitting between cabinet and the buttons is no doubt the tuner section needing some new mounts. They flatten after this long so the tuner assembly drops low. Ever see a nice looking radio with a round dial, but the dial sits low in the window? Same thing. Nothing worse than seeing a non centered dial in the cutout. Well I guess there are worse things.
Renovated Radios has mounts you'll have to buy them by size, I don't know if he lists model numbers and the part #s
Some will use grommets from the hardware store, but often they can be too hard and not squishy enough.
Installing the mounts, you can do one at a time to keep things pretty much lined up.

@RodB All the ones I've seen were the straight, flat pieces the button slips onto.
