New here w/q's re: Replacing '66 car radio pushbuttons
#6

Thanks for the great information Bill !
I had one radio with a cigarette burn on the center pushbutton and was able to remove "most" of it using 00 steel wool with polishing compound. It did a great job but I think I might go 000 or 0000 next time for a shinier look. I'm also going to get some Brasso (great suggestion) for future radios.
I have several junk yards near me but very few 60's cars there. I've been using some of my non-functioning radio's connectors to this point but once I run out I'll definitely be in need to find some that match. If you give me your email address I can send you a picture of what they look like (unless you already know) and if you do have some that are compatible we can work something out.
Thanks again for all of your help. It's appreciated !

Steve
